for harvesting and managing surplus energy from extremely
low input voltage sources such as TEG (thermoelectric
generators), thermopiles and small solar cells. The step-up
topology operates from input voltages as low as 20mV.
Using a small step-up transformer, the LTC3108 provides a
complete power management solution for wireless sensing
and data acquisition. The 2.2V LDO powers an external
microprocessor, while the main output is programmed to
one of four fixed voltages to power a wireless transmitter
or sensors. The power good indicator signals that the main
output voltage is within regulation. A second output can be
enabled by the host. A storage capacitor provides power
when the input voltage source is unavailable. Extremely
low quiescent current and high efficiency design ensure
the fastest possible charge times of the output reservoir
capacitor.
The LTC3108 is available in a small, thermally enhanced
12-lead (4mm
×
3mm) DFN package and a 16-lead SSOP
package.
