CBC910
Energy Harvesting with the CBC910
The CBC910 bare die ASIC can be configured to collect energy from transducers such as low power photovoltaic
(PV) cells and use that harvested energy to charge the integrated EnerChip and deliver self-sustaining power to
components such as microcontrollers, sensors, and radios in wireless systems. A feedback connection made
from RESET to EN to implement the energy harvesting function. The CBC910 will be connected to one or more
EnerChip batteries for energy storage. In order to make most efficient use of the power available from the
transducer (for example, a PV cell), It is necessary to know the electrical characteristics including voltage and
peak power point of the transducer being used. For assistance in designing your system to effectively harvest
energy from a power transducer in a specific environment, contact Cymbet Applications Engineering.
