GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EH300/EH301 Series EPAD® Energy HarvestingTM Modules can accept energy from many types of electrical energy sources and store this energy to power conventional 3.3V and 5.0V electrical circuits and systems. EH300/EH301 Series modules are completely self-powered and always in the active mode. They are intended for low power intermittent duty cycle sampled data or condition-based monitoring/ extreme lifespan applications. These modules can accept instantaneous input voltages ranging from 0.0V to +/-500V AC or DC, and input currents from 200nA to 400mA from energy harvesting sources that produce electrical energy in either a steady or an intermittent and irregular manner with varying source impedances. EH300/EH301 Series modules condition the stored energy to provide power at output voltage and current levels that are within the limits of a particular electronic system power supply specifications. For example, 1.8V and 3.6V is a useful voltage range for many types of IC circuits, such as microprocessors.
