    +url: null
    +body: """
      I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
      \n
      My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
      \n
      I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
      \n
      - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
      - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
      \n
      This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
      \n
      So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
      \n
      This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
      \n
      To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
      \n
      This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
      \n
      However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
      \n
      Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +url: null
    +body: """
      I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
      \n
      My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
      \n
      I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
      \n
      - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
      - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
      \n
      This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
      \n
      So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
      \n
      This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
      \n
      To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
      \n
      This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
      \n
      However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
      \n
      Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +url: null
    +body: """
      I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
      \n
      My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
      \n
      I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
      \n
      - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
      - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
      \n
      This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
      \n
      So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
      \n
      This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
      \n
      To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
      \n
      This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
      \n
      However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
      \n
      Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +body: """
      I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
      \n
      My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
      \n
      I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
      \n
      - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
      - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
      \n
      This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
      \n
      So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
      \n
      This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
      \n
      To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
      \n
      This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
      \n
      However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
      \n
      Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +url: null
    +body: """
      I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
      \n
      My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
      \n
      I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
      \n
      - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
      - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
      \n
      This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
      \n
      So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
      \n
      This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
      \n
      To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
      \n
      This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
      \n
      However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
      \n
      Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
      \n
      My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
      \n
      I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
      \n
      - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
      - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
      \n
      This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
      \n
      So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
      \n
      This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
      \n
      To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
      \n
      ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
      \n
      This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
      \n
      However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
      \n
      Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n

        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n

        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n

        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      Hm, I don’t understand how this is supposed to work - is that a n-channel or p-channel FET?\n
      \n
      When I sketch it using falstad’s circuitjs, it looks like the FET (n-channel) is a little bit on all the time\n

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n

        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n

        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        Hm, I don’t understand how this is supposed to work - is that a n-channel or p-channel FET?\n

        When I sketch it using falstad’s circuitjs, it looks like the FET (n-channel) is a little bit on all the time\n

    +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

    +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

          When I sketch it using falstad’s circuitjs, it looks like the FET (n-channel) is a little bit on all the time\n

      +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      +body: "It is an N channel FET. The concept is called “bootstrapping” since Vgs needs to be greater than Vth for the MOSFET to be on. When the FET is on the high side and you want the full 9V on the output, you use the diode to charge the capacitor, and the other side of the cap is 0V. Then, when the other side of the cap is connected to 9V, the charge on the cap can’t go anywhere so the voltage on the other side jumps to 18V. This creates a Vgs of 9V. Ideally you would have something better to drive the gate to fully turn off the FET, but I just used a quick and dirty driver where the bootstrap capacitor directly feeds the gate instead of being the input to the driver. Because if this, the Vgs doesn’t drop completely to 0"

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
      \n
      Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Switch it with an NFET\n
      \n
      The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
      \n
      Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
      \n
      Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Switch it with an NFET\n
      \n
      The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
      \n
      Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Switch it with an NFET\n
      \n
      The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
      \n
      Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Switch it with an NFET\n
      \n
      The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n

        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n

        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
      \n
      Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Switch it with an NFET\n
      \n
      The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
      \n
      Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Switch it with an NFET\n
      \n
      The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
      \n
      Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Switch it with an NFET\n
      \n
      The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

        That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a P-FET lying around, so cannot try it right now.\n

        \n
        Sorry, I think I was talking nonesense (doing this in my head and just woke up 😅).\n
        \n
        Not sure it’ll work with just a P-FET actually. You’ll likely need to control the PFET with a NFET, otherwise you still end up with too high a voltage on your control pin when the FET is off due to the gate pullup (unless you can use a fet with a very high Vgs Threshold and then drive it push/pull from the micro, but this isn’t really best practice).\n
        \n
        The above comment about diodes was to protect the microcontroller pin, but you end up not being able to control the FET doing it that way.\n
        \n
        I think either your existing Option 3 or PFET upstream of the divider, switched via an N-FET is the way to go.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
        \n
        Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
        \n
        Switch it with an NFET\n
        \n
        The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      > Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
      \n
      That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a P-FET lying around, so cannot try it right now.\n
      \n
      > Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n

      Not sure I understand this point. Which resistor would you replace with a diode?

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
        \n
        Switch it with an NFET\n
        \n
        The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      \n
      That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a P-FET lying around, so cannot try it right now.\n
      \n
      > Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Not sure I understand this point. Which resistor would you replace with a diode?

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current.

      That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a P-FET lying around, so cannot try it right now.\n

      Not sure I understand this point. Which resistor would you replace with a diode?

      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        \n
        Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
        \n
        Switch it with an NFET\n
        \n
        The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      \n
      That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a P-FET lying around, so cannot try it right now.\n
      \n
      > Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Not sure I understand this point. Which resistor would you replace with a diode?

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        \n
        Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n

        Switch it with an NFET\n

      That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a P-FET lying around, so cannot try it right now.\n

      Not sure I understand this point. Which resistor would you replace with a diode?

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
        \n
        Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
        \n
        Switch it with an NFET\n
        \n
        The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      > Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n

      That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a P-FET lying around, so cannot try it right now.\n

      > Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n

      Not sure I understand this point. Which resistor would you replace with a diode?

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current.

      That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a P-FET lying around, so cannot try it right now.\n

      Not sure I understand this point. Which resistor would you replace with a diode?

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        \n
        Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
        \n
        Switch it with an NFET\n
        \n
        The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      \n
      That’s a great idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a P-FET lying around, so cannot try it right now.\n
      \n
      > Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
      \n
      Not sure I understand this point. Which resistor would you replace with a diode?

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

          \n
          Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
          \n
          Switch it with an NFET\n
          \n
          The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      Sorry, I think I was talking nonesense (doing this in my head and just woke up 😅).\n
      \n
      Not sure it’ll work with just a P-FET actually. You’ll likely need to control the PFET with a NFET, otherwise you still end up with too high a voltage on your control pin when the FET is off due to the gate pullup (unless you can use a fet with a very high Vgs Threshold and then drive it push/pull from the micro, but this isn’t really best practice).\n
      \n
      The above comment about diodes was to protect the microcontroller pin, but you end up not being able to control the FET doing it that way.\n
      \n
      I think either your existing Option 3 or PFET upstream of the divider, switched via an N-FET is the way to go.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

          \n
          Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
          \n
          Switch it with an NFET\n
          \n
          The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      \n
      Sorry, I think I was talking nonesense (doing this in my head and just woke up 😅).\n
      \n
      Not sure it’ll work with just a P-FET actually. You’ll likely need to control the PFET with a NFET, otherwise you still end up with too high a voltage on your control pin when the FET is off due to the gate pullup (unless you can use a fet with a very high Vgs Threshold and then drive it push/pull from the micro, but this isn’t really best practice).\n
      \n
      The above comment about diodes was to protect the microcontroller pin, but you end up not being able to control the FET doing it that way.\n
      \n
      I think either your existing Option 3 or PFET upstream of the divider, switched via an N-FET is the way to go.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

          Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
          \n
          Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
          \n
          Switch it with an NFET\n
          \n
          The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      Sorry, I think I was talking nonesense (doing this in my head and just woke up 😅).\n
      \n
      Not sure it’ll work with just a P-FET actually. You’ll likely need to control the PFET with a NFET, otherwise you still end up with too high a voltage on your control pin when the FET is off due to the gate pullup (unless you can use a fet with a very high Vgs Threshold and then drive it push/pull from the micro, but this isn’t really best practice).\n
      \n
      The above comment about diodes was to protect the microcontroller pin, but you end up not being able to control the FET doing it that way.\n
      \n
      I think either your existing Option 3 or PFET upstream of the divider, switched via an N-FET is the way to go.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

          Could you do similar to diagram 2, but instead of an N-FET use a P-FET between the battery and first resistor in the potential divider?\n
          \n
          Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
          \n
          Switch it with an NFET\n
          \n
          The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      \n
      Sorry, I think I was talking nonesense (doing this in my head and just woke up 😅).\n
      \n
      Not sure it’ll work with just a P-FET actually. You’ll likely need to control the PFET with a NFET, otherwise you still end up with too high a voltage on your control pin when the FET is off due to the gate pullup (unless you can use a fet with a very high Vgs Threshold and then drive it push/pull from the micro, but this isn’t really best practice).\n
      \n
      The above comment about diodes was to protect the microcontroller pin, but you end up not being able to control the FET doing it that way.\n
      \n
      I think either your existing Option 3 or PFET upstream of the divider, switched via an N-FET is the way to go.

        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

          Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n

          Switch it with an NFET\n

          The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      Sorry, I think I was talking nonesense (doing this in my head and just woke up 😅).\n
      \n
      Not sure it’ll work with just a P-FET actually. You’ll likely need to control the PFET with a NFET, otherwise you still end up with too high a voltage on your control pin when the FET is off due to the gate pullup (unless you can use a fet with a very high Vgs Threshold and then drive it push/pull from the micro, but this isn’t really best practice).\n
      \n
      The above comment about diodes was to protect the microcontroller pin, but you end up not being able to control the FET doing it that way.\n
      \n
      I think either your existing Option 3 or PFET upstream of the divider, switched via an N-FET is the way to go.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

          \n
          Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
          \n
          Switch it with an NFET\n
          \n
          The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      Sorry, I think I was talking nonesense (doing this in my head and just woke up 😅).\n
      \n
      Not sure it’ll work with just a P-FET actually. You’ll likely need to control the PFET with a NFET, otherwise you still end up with too high a voltage on your control pin when the FET is off due to the gate pullup (unless you can use a fet with a very high Vgs Threshold and then drive it push/pull from the micro, but this isn’t really best practice).\n
      \n
      The above comment about diodes was to protect the microcontroller pin, but you end up not being able to control the FET doing it that way.\n
      \n
      I think either your existing Option 3 or PFET upstream of the divider, switched via an N-FET is the way to go.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

          \n
          Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
          \n
          Switch it with an NFET\n
          \n
          The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      \n
      Sorry, I think I was talking nonesense (doing this in my head and just woke up 😅).\n
      \n
      Not sure it’ll work with just a P-FET actually. You’ll likely need to control the PFET with a NFET, otherwise you still end up with too high a voltage on your control pin when the FET is off due to the gate pullup (unless you can use a fet with a very high Vgs Threshold and then drive it push/pull from the micro, but this isn’t really best practice).\n
      \n
      The above comment about diodes was to protect the microcontroller pin, but you end up not being able to control the FET doing it that way.\n
      \n
      I think either your existing Option 3 or PFET upstream of the divider, switched via an N-FET is the way to go.

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

          \n
          Add a gate pull up resistor to source to ensure the FET is off by default, have the micro pull the gate down to take a measurement. You’ll probably need to add another resistor on the control pin to 0V to limit the voltage there also, but those two can be much much higher values to really limit current. Or use a zener/TVS diode instead of second resistor to clamp the voltage instead of dividing (more robust).\n
          \n
          Switch it with an NFET\n
          \n
          The micro will see 0V or divided/clamped battery voltage on the measurement pin.

      Sorry, I think I was talking nonesense (doing this in my head and just woke up 😅).\n
      \n
      Not sure it’ll work with just a P-FET actually. You’ll likely need to control the PFET with a NFET, otherwise you still end up with too high a voltage on your control pin when the FET is off due to the gate pullup (unless you can use a fet with a very high Vgs Threshold and then drive it push/pull from the micro, but this isn’t really best practice).\n
      \n
      The above comment about diodes was to protect the microcontroller pin, but you end up not being able to control the FET doing it that way.\n
      \n
      I think either your existing Option 3 or PFET upstream of the divider, switched via an N-FET is the way to go.

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger (by a factor of 10x or maybe even 100x). Lookup the input impedance for the ADC of your model of ATmega, as long as it’s >10x the size of your resistors then your circuit will probably be accurate enough.\n
      \n
      A couple more things to keep in mind:\n
      \n
      - a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      - 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.

      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger (by a factor of 10x or maybe even 100x). Lookup the input impedance for the ADC of your model of ATmega, as long as it’s >10x the size of your resistors then your circuit will probably be accurate enough.\n
      \n
      A couple more things to keep in mind:\n
      \n
      - a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      - 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.

        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger (by a factor of 10x or maybe even 100x). Lookup the input impedance for the ADC of your model of ATmega, as long as it’s >10x the size of your resistors then your circuit will probably be accurate enough.\n
      \n
      A couple more things to keep in mind:\n
      \n
      - a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      - 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger (by a factor of 10x or maybe even 100x). Lookup the input impedance for the ADC of your model of ATmega, as long as it’s >10x the size of your resistors then your circuit will probably be accurate enough.\n
      \n
      A couple more things to keep in mind:\n
      \n
      - a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      - 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger (by a factor of 10x or maybe even 100x). Lookup the input impedance for the ADC of your model of ATmega, as long as it’s >10x the size of your resistors then your circuit will probably be accurate enough.\n
      \n
      A couple more things to keep in mind:\n
      \n
      - a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      - 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger (by a factor of 10x or maybe even 100x). Lookup the input impedance for the ADC of your model of ATmega, as long as it’s >10x the size of your resistors then your circuit will probably be accurate enough.\n
      \n
      A couple more things to keep in mind:\n
      \n
      - a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      - 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger (by a factor of 10x or maybe even 100x). Lookup the input impedance for the ADC of your model of ATmega, as long as it’s >10x the size of your resistors then your circuit will probably be accurate enough.\n
      \n
      A couple more things to keep in mind:\n
      \n
      - a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      - 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger (by a factor of 10x or maybe even 100x). Lookup the input impedance for the ADC of your model of ATmega, as long as it’s >10x the size of your resistors then your circuit will probably be accurate enough.\n
      \n
      A couple more things to keep in mind:\n
      \n
      - a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      - 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.

          > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
          \n
          That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
          \n
          > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
          \n
          Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
          \n
          > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
          \n
          This is a good point!\n
          \n
          My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
          \n
          1. wake up\n
          2. measure battery\n
          3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
          4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
          5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
          \n
          So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

        From the stack exchange post: " 10 kΩ or less source resistance is recommended, otherwise the low pass filter effect of the capacitor with the source resistance becomes a major issue, requiring a longer sampling time for conversion and as a result limiting the maximum frequency."\n
        \n
        In other words: a higher source impedance (caused by large resistors) is only going to drastically affect the results when you need to take fast repeated measurements (e.g. an AC source)

        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
      \n
      That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
      \n
      > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      \n
      Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
      \n
      > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
      \n
      This is a good point!\n
      \n
      My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
      \n
      1. wake up\n
      2. measure battery\n
      3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
      4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
      5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
      \n
      So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
      \n
      > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      \n
      Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
      \n
      > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
      \n
      This is a good point!\n
      \n
      My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
      \n
      1. wake up\n
      2. measure battery\n
      3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
      4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
      5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
      \n
      So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
      \n
      That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
      \n
      > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      \n
      Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
      \n
      > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
      \n
      This is a good point!\n
      \n
      My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
      \n
      1. wake up\n
      2. measure battery\n
      3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
      4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
      5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
      \n
      So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
      \n
      That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
      \n
      > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      \n
      Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
      \n
      > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
      \n
      This is a good point!\n
      \n
      My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
      \n
      1. wake up\n
      2. measure battery\n
      3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
      4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
      5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
      \n
      So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
      \n
      That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
      \n
      > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      \n
      Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
      \n
      > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
      \n
      This is a good point!\n
      \n
      My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
      \n
      1. wake up\n
      2. measure battery\n
      3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
      4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
      5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
      \n
      So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
      \n
      That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
      \n
      > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      \n
      Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
      \n
      > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
      \n
      This is a good point!\n
      \n
      My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
      \n
      1. wake up\n
      2. measure battery\n
      3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
      4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
      5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
      \n
      So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
      \n
      That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
      \n
      > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      \n
      Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
      \n
      > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
      \n
      This is a good point!\n
      \n
      My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
      \n
      1. wake up\n
      2. measure battery\n
      3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
      4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
      5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
      \n
      So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

      > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
      \n
      That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
      \n
      > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
      \n
      Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
      \n
      > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
      \n
      This is a good point!\n
      \n
      My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
      \n
      1. wake up\n
      2. measure battery\n
      3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
      4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
      5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
      \n
      So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
        \n
        That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
        \n
        > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
        \n
        Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
        \n
        > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
        \n
        This is a good point!\n
        \n
        My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
        \n
        1. wake up\n
        2. measure battery\n
        3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
        4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
        5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
        \n
        So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
        \n
        That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
        \n
        > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
        \n
        Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
        \n
        > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
        \n
        This is a good point!\n
        \n
        My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
        \n
        1. wake up\n
        2. measure battery\n
        3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
        4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
        5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
        \n
        So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      From the stack exchange post: " 10 kΩ or less source resistance is recommended, otherwise the low pass filter effect of the capacitor with the source resistance becomes a major issue, requiring a longer sampling time for conversion and as a result limiting the maximum frequency."\n

      In other words: a higher source impedance (caused by large resistors) is only going to drastically affect the results when you need to take fast repeated measurements (e.g. an AC source)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
        \n
        That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
        \n
        > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
        \n
        Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
        \n
        > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
        \n
        This is a good point!\n
        \n
        My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
        \n
        1. wake up\n
        2. measure battery\n
        3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
        4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
        5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
        \n
        So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      From the stack exchange post: " 10 kΩ or less source resistance is recommended, otherwise the low pass filter effect of the capacitor with the source resistance becomes a major issue, requiring a longer sampling time for conversion and as a result limiting the maximum frequency."\n

      In other words: a higher source impedance (caused by large resistors) is only going to drastically affect the results when you need to take fast repeated measurements (e.g. an AC source)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        \n
        That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
        \n
        > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
        \n
        Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
        \n
        > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
        \n
        This is a good point!\n
        \n
        My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
        \n
        1. wake up\n
        2. measure battery\n
        3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
        4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
        5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
        \n

      From the stack exchange post: " 10 kΩ or less source resistance is recommended, otherwise the low pass filter effect of the capacitor with the source resistance becomes a major issue, requiring a longer sampling time for conversion and as a result limiting the maximum frequency."\n
      \n
      In other words: a higher source impedance (caused by large resistors) is only going to drastically affect the results when you need to take fast repeated measurements (e.g. an AC source)

      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
        \n
        That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
        \n
        > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
        \n
        Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
        \n
        > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
        \n
        This is a good point!\n
        \n
        My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
        \n
        1. wake up\n
        2. measure battery\n
        3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
        4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
        5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
        \n
        So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
        \n
        That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
        \n
        > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
        \n
        Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
        \n
        > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
        \n
        This is a good point!\n
        \n
        My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
        \n
        1. wake up\n
        2. measure battery\n
        3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
        4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
        5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
        \n
        So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
        \n
        That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
        \n
        > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
        \n
        Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
        \n
        > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
        \n
        This is a good point!\n
        \n
        My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
        \n
        1. wake up\n
        2. measure battery\n
        3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
        4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
        5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
        \n
        So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      In other words: a higher source impedance (caused by large resistors) is only going to drastically affect the results when you need to take fast repeated measurements (e.g. an AC source)

      +title: "How to improve my battery measurement circuit?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        I am powering a 5V microcontroller (arduino clone, atmega328p) using a 9V block and a buck converter. Now I want to let the microcontroller occasionally measure the battery voltage, so I can get an idea of how full it is.\n
        \n
        My first idea was to use a simple voltage divider:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9d173f1d-8412-4129-8ae1-c549a7895107.png)\n
        \n
        I’ve chosen the resistor values so that:\n
        \n
        - the voltage at the measure output is `< 1.1V`, to be able to use the 1.1V internal reference of the atmega’s ADC\n
        - `R1 || R2 < 10kΩ`, since the atmega datasheet says “The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less”\n
        \n
        This is great and all, but what bothers me is that this circuit will constantly draw ~100µA from the battery.\n
        \n
        So, my next thought was to add a mosfet to the divider, to switch it on only while measuring:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/450dc371-58d0-4eb0-8f3b-4e76bf676bf4.png)\n
        \n
        This is obviously bad, because now when the mosfet is off, the ADC input sees the whole battery voltage.\n
        \n
        To address that issue, I’ve added a second mosfet into the measure path:\n
        \n
        ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/970e3840-fcbb-46dd-92fb-8903b89149a0.png)\n
        \n
        This works, and it does not draw any current, except while measuring.\n
        \n
        However, it’s quite a few parts. So I’m curious if anyone has an idea how to do this with just a single mosfet. It seems to me like it should be possible, but I haven’t figured out how.\n
        \n
        Oh, and if I’m doing something stupid here, please tell me :)

        > You could probably increase the 82K and 10K resistors to be much bigger\n
        \n
        That’s what I thought initially, but [this stackoverflow post](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/250759/how-many-ohm-is-the-adc-port-internal-resistance-of-the-atmega8#250767) dissuaded me. The argument there is that the measurement will be wrong, if the input current is not enough to charge the internal cap within the measurement period. But I’ve done some testing now, and measurements done with 820k and 100k agree well with what my voltmeter measures, so I’ll go with this solution!\n
        \n
        > a fresh alkaline 9V battery is actually 9.6V or more, not 9V.\n
        \n
        Indeed! `9.6V * 10k/92k = 1.04V` is still below 1.1V, so I should be fine in this case :)\n
        \n
        > 9V battery voltages droop noticeably when under load because of their high internal resistance. Make sure to measure under the same conditions.\n
        \n
        This is a good point!\n
        \n
        My firmware will be pretty monotonic though, basically:\n
        \n
        1. wake up\n
        2. measure battery\n
        3. measure some other sensors (the actual task of the device)\n
        4. turn on a transceiver, send all the measurements (including battery voltage)\n
        5. turn off transceiver & go to sleep\n
        \n
        So, the load should be always the same at step (2).

      From the stack exchange post: " 10 kΩ or less source resistance is recommended, otherwise the low pass filter effect of the capacitor with the source resistance becomes a major issue, requiring a longer sampling time for conversion and as a result limiting the maximum frequency."\n

      In other words: a higher source impedance (caused by large resistors) is only going to drastically affect the results when you need to take fast repeated measurements (e.g. an AC source)
