OPERATION (Refer to the Block Diagram)
The LTC3108-1 is designed to use a small external step-up
transformer to create an ultralow input voltage step-up
DC/DC converter and power manager. It is ideally suited
for low power wireless sensors and other applications in
whichsurplusenergyharvestingisusedtogeneratesystem
power because traditional battery power is inconvenient
or impractical.
average power draw is very low, but there may be periodic
pulses of higher load current required. This is typical of
wireless sensor applications, where the quiescent power
drawisextremelylowmostofthetime,exceptfortransmit
bursts when circuitry is powered up to make measure-
ments and transmit data.

capacitor, supercapacitor or rechargeable battery, using
energy harvested from a Peltier or photovoltaic cell.
The LTC3108-1 is designed to manage the charging and
regulation of multiple outputs in a system in which the
