SiLM6120
High Performance MPP Tracking Buck Controller
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SiLM6120 enables Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), providing superior photovoltaic (PV) module energy harvest and reliability as compared to standard panels.
Photovoltaic cells can only deliver maximum power under specific electrical conditionals that vary significantly with exposed irradiance and temperature. Series connections of PV cells creates a significant sensitivity to cell mismatch, resulting in less than optimal power and energy production under realworld conditions. The SiLM6120 which can also support Cell-String Optimizer enables a string of PV cells to deliver their collective maximum power into a wide range of load conditions.
