Description

This block allows controlling of the boost supply circuit.

Block Parameters

Parameter Field	Values	Comments/Description
Name	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed	The Name must be unique across the model
Resource	Drop down list	The list of Boost resources that are supported by the target.
Show Charge Rate	Checkbox	When supported and selected, this option allows an input port to control supply boost (charge pump) drive strength. Lower strength settings can help minimise peak current draw on the input power supply in situations where the boost supply is lightly loaded. The default when unselected will be to use the highest strength.

Signals

Enable

This boolean input enables or disables the Boost logic. 0(false) disables and 1(true) enables the boost circuit.

Boost Voltage Value

This scalar real32 input port sets the boost supply output voltage setpoint.

Boost Charge Rate

This scalar uint8 input port sets the boost supply charge rate. A value of 2 (high) will set the boost supply to use the most aggressive charge rate (i.e. the highest current demand on the input power supply), a value of 1 (medium) will deliver approximately two thirds of the highest strength, and a value of 0 (low) will be approximately one third of the highest strength.

Actual Boost Voltage

This scalar real32 output port reports the measured boost output voltage.

Actual Battery Voltage

This scalar real32 output port reports the measured boost input voltage.
