The LTC3108 is a highly integrated DC/DC converter ideal for harvesting and managing surplus energy from extremely low input voltage sources such as TEGs (thermoelectric generators), thermopiles and small solar cells. The step-up topology operates from input voltages as low as 20mV. Using a small step-up transformer, the LTC3108 provides a complete power management solution for wireless sensing and data acquisition.
LTC3108 TRANSFORMER
The LTC3108 utilizes a depletion mode N-channel MOSFET switch to form a resonant step-up oscillator using an external step-up transformer and a small coupling capacitor. This allows it to boost input voltages as low as 20mV high enough to provide multiple regulated output voltages for powering other circuits. The frequency of oscillation is determined by the inductance of the transformer secondary winding and is typically in the range of 20kHz to 200kHz. For input voltages as low as 20mV, a primary-secondary turns ratio of about 1:100 is recommended. For higher input voltages, a lower turns ratio can be used. These transformers are standard, off-the-shelf components, and are readily available from many magnetic suppliers. The compound depletion mode FET is what makes 20mV operation possible. Linear Technology has optimized the FET in ways not possible with discrete designs that result in much better harvesting efficiency.
