MPT612 Overview
Description
The MPT612, the first dedicated IC for performing the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) function, is designed for use in applications that use solar photovoltaic (PV) cells or in fuel cells. To simplify development and maximize system efficiency, the MPT612 is supported by a patent-pending MPPT algorithm, an application-specific software library and easy-to-use application programming interfaces (APIs).
Key Features
- ARM7TDMI-S 32 bit RISC core operating at up to 70 MHz
- 128-bit wide interface and accelerator enabling 70 MHz operation
- One 32-bit timer and external event counter with four capture and four compare channels
