EnerChip CC CBC3150
Energy Harvesting with the EnerChip CC
The EnerChip CC can be configured to collect energy from transducers such as low power photovoltaic (PV)
cells and use that harvested energy to charge the integrated EnerChip and deliver self-sustaining power to
components such as microcontrollers, sensors, and radios in wireless systems. The schematic of Figure 13
illustrates the feedback connection made from RESET to EN to implement the energy harvesting function with
the CBC3150. In order to make most efficient use of the power available from the transducer (for example,
a PV cell), it is necessary to know the electrical characteristics including voltage and peak power point of the
transducer being used. For assistance in designing your system to effectively harvest energy from a power
transducer in a specific environment, contact Cymbet Applications Engineering.
