Description

The circuit board is designed to collect and manage microwatt (μW) to milliwatt (mW) power generated from various DC sources such as solar cells or thermoelectric generators. In addition to the highly efficient boosting charger, this board includes a highly efficient, nano- power buck converter in the output stage. A supercapacitor (0.22F 5.5V) is installed onboard as a storage.
