DC1582B-A

Demonstration circuit 1582B featuring the LTC3108 is a highly integrated DC/DC converter optimized for harvesting and managing energy from extremely low input voltage sources such as thermoelectric generators (TEG). The step-up topology operates from input voltages as low as 20mV. The demonstration circuit has been optimized for low start-up voltage with a 100:1 turns ratio transformer. For application where it is desirable to trade-off a higher start-up voltage for higher current, a lower turns ratio transformer can be used. The LTC3108 is designed to accumulate and manage energy over a long period of time to enable short bursts of power to be used to acquire and transmit data. The demonstration circuit has been set up with a storage capacitor that makes it easy to evaluate the general functionality of the circuit.
