LTC3107 Ultra-Low Voltage Energy Harvester and Primary Battery Life Extender FeaTuresDescripTion n Thermal Energy Harvesting Assisted Power The LTC®3107 is a highly integrated DC/DC converter de- Management System signed to extend the life of a primary battery in low power n VOUT Tracks the Primary Battery Voltage wireless systems by harvesting and managing surplus en- n 2.2V LDO Output ergy from extremely low input voltage sources such as TEGs n Reserve Energy Output, Clamped to 4.3V (Thermoelectric Generators) and thermopiles. The step-up n Operates from Inputs as Low as 20mV topology operates from input voltages as low as 20mV. n Battery In-Use Indicator (BAT_OFF) Using a small step-up transformer, the LTC3107 n IQ from Battery: provides a complete power management solution for n 80nA When Energy Harvesting typical wireless sensor applications that operate from a n 6µA No Energy Harvesting primary battery. The 2.2V LDO can be used to power an n Standard, Compact Step-Up Transformer external microprocessor, while the main output voltage n Small, Thermally Enhanced 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) automatically adapts to match the voltage of the primary DFN package battery. The LTC3107 seamlessly transitions from battery power to harvested power whenever harvested energy is applicaTions available, extending the life of the battery. The BAT_OFF n Industrial Wireless Sensing indicator can be used to track battery usage. An optional n Remote Sensor and Radio power storage capacitor accumulates excess harvested energy, n HVAC further extending battery life. n Automatic Metering The LTC3107 is available in a small, thermally enhanced n Building Automation, Security 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) DFN package. n Predictive Maintenance, Condition Monitoring L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and VLDO is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
