Description
The SPV1040 device is a low power, low voltage, monolithic step-up converter with
an input voltage range from 0.3 V to 5.5 V, capable of maximizing the energy
generated by solar cells (or fuel cells), where low input voltage handling capability is
extremely important. Thanks to the embedded MPPT algorithm, even under varying
environmental conditions (such as irradiation, dirt, temperature) the SPV1040 offers
maximum efficiency in terms of power harvested from the cells and transferred to the
output. The device employs a voltage regulation loop, which fixes the charging
battery voltage via a resistor divider.
It is possible to set the maximum output current according to charging requirements
by a sense resistor .
The SPV1040 protects itself and other application devices by stopping the PWM
switching if either the maximum current threshold (up to 1.8 A
pk
) is reached or the
maximum temperature limit (up to 155 °C) is exceeded. An additional built-in feature
of the SPV1040 is the input source reverse polarity protection, which prevents
damage in case of reverse connection of the solar panel on the input.
