CBC-EVAL-09 EnerChip EP Universal EH Eval Kit
EVAL-09 Mode Inquiry Switch and LED Mode Indicators
A push button switch S2 as shown in Figure 3 is used to display the EVAL-09 energy conversion state and
charging status. There are 3 LEDs that indicate the 3 modes.
MPPT LED – Maximum Peak Power Tracking - Indicates the Energy Processor is adjusting the input impedance
to match the transducer impedance. Any time the Energy Processor is performing the MPPT function, the LED
will flash momentarily (1 millisecond). The LED will be lit momentarily every time the Energy Processor enters
this state or when the push button is pressed. To force MPPT state, hold S2 while connecting the EH transduc-
er. When MPPT LED flashes, release pushbotton. Target system MCU or SW1 changes can also force MPPT.
Output Holding Cap Charge LED – This indicates the capacitor used to hold output charge for the target load
is being charged. The LED will be lit momentarily every time the Energy Processor enters this state or when the
push button is pressed.
EnerChip Charge LED - This indicates the EnerChip devices are being charged. The LED will be lit momentarily
every time the Energy Processor enters this state or when the push button is pressed.
Charge Sequence Complete - Independent of the push button, once the Energy Processor has completed the
sequence of MPPT, Cap Charge and EnerChip Charge, all three LEDs will be flashed for 1 millisecond.
Normal Operating Status - When the Energy Processor is in the Normal Operation State, if the user presses the
push button S2 all three LEDs will be flashed for 1msec,
EVAL-09 Output Power Disconnect – In order to remove the output voltage from the target load, the S2 push
button is pressed and held for 10 seconds. Initially all three LEDS will flash and after 10 seconds Cap Charge
and EC Charge LEDs will flash indicating the output voltage has been disconnected.
EVAL-09 Output Power Reconnect - In order apply output voltage to the target load, the S2 push button is
pressed and held for 10 seconds. Initially Cap Charge and EC Charge LEDS will flash and after 10 seconds all
three LEDs will flash indicating the output voltage has been reconnected.
Note that during the time the S2 push button is depressed no power is passed from the EVAL--09 to the con-
nected target system.
Suggested Energy Harvesting Transducers
Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs)
- There are several vendors of Thermoelectric generators. MicroPelt
model MPG-D651 or MPG-D671 have been verified with the CBC-EVAL-09. MicroPelt evaluation system is TE-
Power PLUS described on www.micropelt.com and available at Mouser. Nextreme also supplies a small TEG
model eTEG HV56 Power Generator. Contact Nextreme directly at www.nextreme.com.
Piezo Electric Generator
- There are several vendors of Piezoelectric generators. Mide piezo units V20W,
V25W, V21B, V21BL, V22B and V22BL have been verified with the CBC-EVAL-09. Mide’s website is www.mide.
com. Another vendor is Advanced Cerametrics with model numbers PFCB-W14, PFCB-W24, and PFCB-W54 will
work with the EVAL-09. ACI’s website is www.advancedcerametrics.com.
Alternate Energy Harvesting Generators
- New solutions for harvesting ambient energy are emerging
from companies and universities worldwide. Please contact Cymbet Applications Engineering to discuss any
ideas or solutions you are exploring.
