CBC-EVAL-10

The CBC-EVAL-10 is a demonstration kit that provides designers a platform to easily develop energy harvesting (EH) solutions using the EnerChip CBC3150TM configured to operate in an energy harvesting mode. The kit combines a small solar panel, power management circuit, energy storage, regulated output voltage, and input/output pins for connection to commercially available microcontroller (MCU) and radio boards. A 16pin CBC51100 module is included, providing the EH functions, battery management, and 100μAh solid state rechargeable energy storage. CBC-EVAL-10 is a practical, low cost realization of an EH based power system that can provide many years of service without need of battery maintenance.

• Energy harvesting circuitry that matches the impedance of photovoltaic cells
• Solid state energy storage with thousands of charge discharge cycles available
• Integrated battery management that controls battery charging and discharge cut off
• Provision for additional energy storage with switchover control CKT to meet application requirements
• Regulated output voltage with user-configurable voltage settings
• Input/output headers for connection to system components such as radios and microcontrollers
