Maximum Power Point Control Simplifies Energy Harvesting

Fran Hoffart - Applications Engineer Nov 8th 2010
There is an increasing market for low power electronic devices located in remote locations, away from the power grid. Ideally, the power for these devices should be generated on-site using renewable energy. Perhaps the most visible form of renewable energy is from the sun. Converting this solar energy into electrical energy ...

LTC4070 50mA/500mA Li-Ion/Polymer Shunt Battery Charger System - Video Product Brief

Steve Knoth - Senior Product Marketing Engineer Jul 9th 2010
The LTC4070 allows simple charging of Li-Ion/Polymer batteries from very low current, intermittent or continuous charging sources. The 450nA to 50mA operating current makes charging possible from previously unusable sources. With the addition of an external pass device, shunt current may be boosted to 500mA. Stacked cell high ...
