Energy Harvesting
Analog Devices offers a wide range of ultra low power ICs for energy harvesting applications. Power management products that convert energy from vibration (piezoelectric), photovoltaic (solar), and thermal (TEC, TEG, thermopiles, thermocouples) sources provide high efficiency conversion to regulated voltages or to charge batteries and super capacitor storage elements. Boost converters that operate from as little as 20 mV or battery chargers with maximum power point capability expand the possibilities for industrial automation and control, wireless sensor, transportation, automotive, and building management applications. Ultra low quiescent current linear regulators, op amps, comparators, voltage supervisors, ADCs, DACs, and micropower voltage references provide additional building blocks for autonomous systems.
