LTC3108-1 Ultralow Voltage Step-Up Converter and Power Manager FeaTuresDescripTion n Operates from Inputs of 20mV The LTC®3108-1 is a highly integrated DC/DC converter ideal n Complete Energy Harvesting Power for harvesting and managing surplus energy from extremely Management System low input voltage sources such as TEGs (thermoelectric - Selectable VOUT of 2.5V, 3V, 3.7V or 4.5V generators), thermopiles and small solar cells. The step-up - LDO: 2.2V at 3mA topology operates from input voltages as low as 20mV. - Logic Controlled Output Using a small step-up transformer, the LTC3108-1 provides - Reserve Energy Output a complete power management solution for wireless sens- n Power Good Indicator ing and data acquisition. The 2.2V LDO powers an external n Uses Compact Step-Up Transformers microprocessor, while the main output is programmed to n Small 12-Lead (3mm × 4mm) DFN or 16-Lead one of four fixed voltages to power a wireless transmitter SSOP Packages or sensors. The power good indicator signals that the main output voltage is within regulation. A second output can be applicaTions enabled by the host. A storage capacitor provides power n Remote Sensors and Radio Power when the input voltage source is unavailable. Extremely n Surplus Heat Energy Harvesting low quiescent current and high efficiency design ensure n HVAC Systems the fastest possible charge times of the output reservoir n Industrial Wireless Sensing capacitor. The LTC3108-1 is functionally equivalent to the n Automatic Metering LTC3108 except for its unique fixed VOUT options. n Building Automation n The LTC3108-1 is available in a small, thermally enhanced Predictive Maintenance 12-lead (3mm × 4mm) DFN package and a 16-lead SSOP L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
