ideal for harvesting and managing surplus energy from
extremely low input voltage sources such as TEGs (ther-
moelectric generators), thermopiles and small solar cells.
The step-up topology operates from input voltages as
low as 20mV. The LTC3108 is functionally equivalent to
the LTC3108-1 except for its unique fixed V
OUT
options.
Using a small step-up transformer, the LTC3108 provides
a complete power management solution for wireless
sensing and data acquisition. The 2.2V LDO powers an
external microprocessor, while the main output is pro-
grammed to one of four fixed voltages to power a wire-
less transmitter or sensors. The power good indicator
signals that the main output voltage is within regulation.
A second output can be enabled by the host. A storage
capacitor provides power when the input voltage source
is unavailable. Extremely low quiescent current and high
efficiency design ensure the fastest possible charge times
of the output reservoir capacitor.
The LTC3108 is available in a small, thermally enhanced
12-lead (3mm
×
4mm) DFN package and a 16-lead
SSOP package.
