Description
Demonstration Circuit DC2151A is a nanopower buck-
boost DC/DC with energy harvesting battery charger
featuring the
LTC
3331. The LTC3331 integrates a high
®
voltage energy harvesting power supply plus a DC/DC
converter powered by a rechargeable cell battery to create
a single output supply for alternative energy applications.
The energy harvesting power supply, consisting of an
integrated low-loss full-wave bridge with a high voltage
buck converter, harvests energy from piezoelectric, solar
or magnetic sources. The rechargeable cell input powers a
buck-boost converter capable of operating down to 1.8V
at its input. Either DC/DC converter can deliver energy to
a single output. The buck operates when harvested energy
is available, reducing the quiescent current drawn on the
battery to essentially zero. The buck-boost takes over
when harvested energy goes away.

Nanopower Buck-Boost DC/DC with
Energy Harvesting Battery Charger
A 10mA shunt allows simple battery charging with harvest
energy while a low battery disconnect function protects the
battery from deep discharge. A supercapacitor balancer
is also integrated, allowing for increased output storage.
Voltage and current settings for input and output as well
as the battery float voltage are programmable via pin-
strapped logic inputs.
The LTC3331EUH is available in a 5mm × 5mm 32-lead
QFN surface mount package with exposed pad.
