Energy-Harvesting Charger and Protector
General Description
The MAX17710 is a plete system for charging and protecting micropower-storage cells such as Infinite Power Solutions’ THINERGY® microenergy cells (MECs). The IC can manage poorly regulated sources such as energyharvesting devices with output levels ranging from 1FW to 100mW. The device also includes a boost regulator circuit for charging the cell from a source as low as 0.75V (typ). An internal regulator protects the cell from overcharging.
Output voltages supplied to the target applications are regulated using a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator with selectable voltages of 3.3V, 2.3V, or...
