TIBQ25504RGTR
Overview
The BQ25504RGTR is a highly efficient boost converter designed specifically to manage microwatts of power generated from high-impedance sources like solar cells or thermoelectric generators. It features an ultra-low quiescent current of 330nA and integrates a cold-start circuit that allows the system to begin operation from an input voltage as low as 130mV.
Why Choose This Part
This device features integrated Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to optimize energy extraction from various harvesting sources. It provides comprehensive battery protection, including programmable undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds, while maintaining an extremely low 330nA supply current to maximize storage efficiency.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers can evaluate this IC using the BQ25504EVM-674 evaluation module, which provides headers for connecting harvesting sources and storage elements. Design involves calculating external resistor dividers to set the MPPT ratio and battery protection voltages according to the specific storage chemistry used.
