Cymbet CBC-EVAL-10 Energy Harvester Evaluation Kit
Cymbet CBC-EVAL-10 EnerChip CC Energy Harvester Evaluation Kits use the EnerChip CC CBC3150 to provide a simple single chip solution for energy harvesting power conversion, energy storage, and power management. The Cymbet CBC-EVAL-10 is a low-cost solution for solar-based sensors. This Cymbet evaluation kit combines a small solar panel, power management circuit, energy storage, regulated output voltage, and input/output pins for connection to commercially available microcontrollers and radio boards. A 16-pin CBC51100 module is included, providing the EG functions, battery management, and 100µ Ah solid state rechargeable energy storage. The Cymbet CBC-EVAL-10 Enerchip CC Energy Harvester Evaluation Kit is a practical, low-cost realization of an EH-based power system that can provide many years of service without needing battery maintenance.
Features
- 16-pin CBC51100 Module with on-board EnerChip CBC3150
- Energy harvesting circuitry that matches the impedance of photovoltaic cells to ensure maximum power transfer to system load and on-board energy storage devices
- Solid state energy storage with thousands of charge-discharge cycles available
