能源采集和太阳能充电IC

意法半导体的能量采集和太阳能充电IC能够为物联网生态系统供电,即从环境光或热差中提取能量,从而为各种应用中的小型器件供电,如智能照明、住宅和建筑自动化、远程监控、存在检测和工业设备控制系统的无线传感器以及可穿戴设备和健康传感器。

这些IC使小型器件能够自主供电,减少了一次性电池的使用–和浪费,从而保护环境,同时减轻电缆布设成本的严重影响并提高遗留建筑物中的灵活性。由于能够消除布线并代替原电池,因此可在办公室、建筑、酒店、工业现场、机场、商场、远程监控基础设施以及可穿戴健身/医疗设备中布置数百万个此类器件。

SPV1050 energy harvesting and SPV1040 high-efficiency solar battery charger

ST’s SPV1050 is an extremely high-efficiency power-management and battery-charger solution for wireless sensor nodes that harvests energy from both photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric generators (TEGs) operating up to 400 mW output power. The SPV1050 achieves impressive energy-conversion performance thanks to the embedded maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm, by guarantying up to 99% of maximum power extracted from the harvesting available source. It is compatible with any battery chemistry, including thin-film solid state, super-capacitor, NiMH, NiCd and lithium-ion/lithium polymer. In fact, it applies the typical CC-CV charge profile to optimize the charge and to guarantee its lifetime and overall system safety.

The SPV1040 is a monolithic solar energy harvester based on a step-up converter configuration optimized to work in outdoor conditions with an output power up to 3 W, and with embedded MPPT algorithm that operates over a 0.45 to 5.5 V input voltage range. The proprietary algorithm maximizes the energy extraction from the source and the transfer to the load is given by the very high conversion efficiency. Fundamental features like over-current, over-voltage and over-temperature guarantee battery and overall system safety and along with the other specs address some typical applications like outdoor environmental sensors, solar lanterns, garden and poles lighting, solar bags and portable mid power consumer.
