Description:
The bq25570 device is specifically designed to efficiently extract microwatts (µW) to milliwatts (mW) of power generated from a variety of high output impedance DC sources like photovoltaic (solar) or thermal electric generators (TEG) without collapsing those sources. The battery management features ensure that a rechargeable battery is not overcharged by this extracted power, with voltage boosted, or depleted beyond safe limits by a system load. In addition to the highly efficient boosting charger, the bq25570 integrates a highly efficient, nano- power Loads buck converter for providing a second power rail to systems such as wireless sensor networks (WSN) which have stringent power and operational demands. All the capabilities of bq25570 are packed into a small foot-print 20-lead 3.5-mm x 3.5-mm QFN package (RGR).
Applications:
Energy Harvesting
Solar Chargers
Thermal Electric Generator (TEG) Harvesting
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)
Low Power Wireless Monitoring
Environmental Monitoring
Bridge and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
Smart Building Controls
Portable and Wearable Health Devices
Entertainment System Remote Controls
