Linear Technology Multi-Source Energy Harvester
Features
- 4 harvesters for different source types
- On-board solar cell and thermo electric generator
- Connectors for optional external generators
Quick Start
- Decide for your energy harvesting source
- Set the appropriate jumper JP1 to JP4 to feed the harvested source to the power connector.
- Optionally set jumper JP9 to ON for an extended buffer capacitance for all harvesters or set jumper JP10 to ON for an extended buffer capacitance for the TEG harvester
- Connect your application to the power connector
