DC2069A
Overview
The DC2069A is a high-efficiency demonstration circuit featuring the LT8490, a buck-boost switching regulator battery charger controller with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). This board is designed to charge various battery chemistries, including lead-acid and Lithium-Ion, from input sources like solar panels or DC power supplies. It supports a wide input voltage range of 17V to 54V and can deliver up to 16.6A of output current.
Why Choose This Part
The board achieves very high efficiency by using a buck-boost topology that allows the input voltage to be above, below, or equal to the battery voltage. It simplifies complex solar charging designs by integrating a full MPPT logic set and temperature compensation directly into the LT8490 controller.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate the LT8490, connect a power source between 17V and 54V to the input terminals and a compatible battery to the output. Monitor status via the on-board LEDs and utilize the serial interface for advanced configuration and data logging.
