This energy is transferred from the input capacitor to the output via a high efficiency synchronous buck regulator. The 16V UVLO threshold also allows for input to output current multiplication through the buck regulator. The buck features a sleep state that minimizes both input and output quiescent currents while in regulation. Four output voltages of 3.45V, 4.1V, 4.5V and 5.0V are pin selectable with up to 100mA of continuous output current, and suit Li-Ion and LiFePO4 batteries as well as supercapacitors. An input protective shunt set at 20V provides overvoltage protection.

VIN2 (Pin 7): Internal low voltage rail to serve as gate drive for buck NMOS switch. Also serves as a logic high rail for output voltage select bits D0 and D1. A 4.7µF capacitor should be connected from VIN2 to GND. This pin is not intended for use as an external system rail. PZ2 (Pin 2): Input connection for piezoelectric element or other AC source (used in conjunction with PZ1). CAP (Pin 3): Internal rail referenced to VIN to serve as gate drive for buck PMOS switch. A 1µF capacitor should be connected between CAP and VIN. This pin is not intended for use as an external system rail. D1 (Pin 8): Output Voltage Select Bit. D1 should be tied high to VIN2 or low to GND to select desired VOUT (see Table 1). D0 (Pin 9): Output Voltage Select Bit. D0 should be tied high to VIN2 or low to GND to select desired VOUT (see Table 1). VIN (Pin 4): Rectified Input Voltage. A capacitor on this pin serves as an energy reservoir and input supply for the buck regulator. The VIN voltage is internally clamped to a maximum of 20V (typical). PGOOD (Pin 10): Power good output is logic high when VOUT is above 92% of the target value. The logic high is referenced to the VOUT rail. SW (Pin 5): Switch Pin for the Buck Switching Regulator. A 22µH or larger inductor should be connected from SW to VOUT. GND (Exposed Pad Pin 11): Ground.

The rectified output is stored on a capacitor at the VIN pin and can be used as an energy reservoir for the buck converter. The low-loss bridge rectifier has a total drop of about 400mV with typical piezo generated currents (~10µA). The bridge is capable of carrying up to 50mA. One side of the bridge can be operated as a single-ended DC input. PZ1 and PZ2 should never be shorted together when the bridge is in use. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) When the voltage on VIN rises above the UVLO rising threshold the buck converter is enabled and charge is transferred from the input capacitor to the output capacitor. A wide (~2V) UVLO hysteresis window allows a portion of the energy stored on the input capacitor to be transferred to the output capacitor by the buck. When the input capacitor voltage is depleted below the UVLO falling threshold the buck converter is disabled. Extremely low quiescent current (830nA typical, VIN = 12V) in UVLO allows energy to accumulate on the input capacitor in situations where energy must be harvested from low power sources. Internal Rail Generation Two internal rails, CAP and VIN2, are generated from VIN and are used to drive the high side PMOS and low side NMOS of the buck converter, respectively. Additionally the VIN2 rail serves as logic high for output voltage select bits D0 and D1. The VIN2 rail is regulated at 4.8V above GND while the CAP rail is regulated at 4.8V below VIN. These are not intended to be used as external rails. Bypass capacitors 8 are connected to the CAP and VIN2 pins to serve as energy reservoirs for driving the buck switches. When VIN is below 4.8V, VIN2 is equal to VIN and CAP is held at GND. Figure 1 shows the ideal VIN, VIN2 and CAP relationship. 18 16 14 VOLTAGE (V) The LTC3588-2 is an ultralow quiescent current power supply designed specifically for energy harvesting and/or low current step-down applications. The part is designed to interface directly to a piezoelectric or alternative A/C power source, rectify a voltage waveform and store harvested energy on an external capacitor, bleed off any excess power via an internal shunt regulator, and maintain a regulated output voltage by means of a nanopower high efficiency synchronous buck regulator. VIN 12 10 8 6 VIN2 4 CAP 2 0 0 5 10 VIN (V) 15 35882 F01 Figure 1. Ideal VIN, VIN2 and CAP Relationship Buck Operation The buck regulator uses a hysteretic voltage algorithm to control the output through internal feedback from the VOUT sense pin. The buck converter charges an output capacitor through an inductor to a value slightly higher than the regulation point. It does this by ramping the inductor current up to 260mA through an internal PMOS switch and then ramping it down to 0mA through an internal NMOS switch. This efficiently delivers energy to the output capacitor. The ramp rate is determined by VIN, VOUT, and the inductor value. If the input voltage falls below the UVLO falling threshold before the output voltage reaches regulation, the buck converter will shut off and will not be turned on until the input voltage again rises above the UVLO rising threshold. During this time the output voltage will be loaded by approximately 100nA. When the buck brings the output voltage into regulation the converter enters a low quiescent current sleep state that monitors the output voltage with a sleep comparator. During this operating mode load current is provided by the buck output capacitor. When the output voltage falls below the regulation point the buck regulator wakes up and the cycle repeats. This hysteretic method of providing a regulated output reduces losses associated with FET switching and maintains an output at light loads. The buck delivers a minimum of 100mA of average current to the output when it is switching. 35882fa LTC3588-2 operation Though the quiescent current when the buck is switching is much greater than the sleep quiescent current, it is still a small percentage of the average inductor current which results in high efficiency over most load conditions. The buck operates only when sufficient energy has been accumulated in the input capacitor and the length of time the converter needs to transfer energy to the output is much less than the time it takes to accumulate energy. Thus, the buck operating quiescent current is averaged over a long period of time so that the total average quiescent current is low. This feature accommodates sources that harvest small amounts of ambient energy. regulation voltage. Several sleep cycles may occur during this time. Additionally, if PGOOD is high and VIN falls below the UVLO falling threshold, PGOOD will remain high until VOUT falls to 92% of the desired regulation point. This allows output energy to be used even if the input is lost. Figure 2 shows the behavior for VOUT = 5V and a 10µA load. At t = 2s VIN becomes high impedance and is discharged by the quiescent current of the LTC3588-2 and through servicing VOUT which is discharged by its own leakage current. VIN crosses UVLO falling but PGOOD remains high until VOUT decreases to 92% of the desired regulation point. The PGOOD pin is designed to drive a microprocessor or other chip I/O and is not intended to drive higher current loads such as an LED. The D0/D1 inputs can be switched while in regulation as shown in Figure 3.

D1 VIN 16 VOLTAGE (V) When the sleep comparator signals that the output has reached the sleep threshold the buck converter may be in the middle of a cycle with current still flowing through the inductor. Normally both synchronous switches would turn off and the current in the inductor would freewheel to zero through the NMOS body diode. The LTC3588-2 keeps the NMOS switch on during this time to prevent the conduction loss that would occur in the diode if the NMOS were off. If the PMOS is on when the sleep comparator trips the NMOS will turn on immediately in order to ramp down the current. If the NMOS is on it will be kept on until the current reaches zero. 4 D1=D0=0 VOUT 3 2 PGOOD = LOGIC 1 1 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 TIME (ms) 35882 F03 Figure 3.

When VOUT is programmed to a lower voltage, PGOOD will remain high through the transition. Energy Storage Harvested energy can be stored on the input capacitor or the output capacitor. The high UVLO threshold takes advantage of the fact that energy storage on a capacitor is proportional to the square of the capacitor voltage. After the output voltage is brought into regulation any excess energy is stored on the input capacitor and its voltage increases. When a load exists at the output the buck can efficiently transfer energy stored at a high voltage to the regulated output. While energy storage at the input utilizes the high voltage at the input, the load current is limited to what the buck converter can supply. If larger loads need to be serviced the output capacitor can be sized to support a larger current for some duration. For example, a current burst could begin when PGOOD goes high and would continuously deplete the output capacitor until PGOOD went low. The output voltages available on the LTC3588-2 are particularly suited to Li-Ion and LiFePO4 batteries as well as supercapacitors for applications where energy storage at the output is desired. Applications Information Introduction The LTC3588-2 harvests ambient vibrational energy through a piezoelectric element in its primary application. Common piezoelectric elements are PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ceramics, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) polymers, or other composites. Ceramic piezoelectric elements exhibit a piezoelectric effect when the crystal structure of the ceramic is compressed and internal dipole movement produces a voltage. Polymer elements comprised of long-chain molecules produce a voltage when flexed as molecules repel each other. Ceramics are often used under direct pressure while a polymer can be flexed more PIEZO VOLTAGE INCREASING VIBRATION ENERGY readily. A wide range of piezoelectric elements are available and produce a variety of open-circuit voltages and short-circuit currents. Typically the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit currents increase with available vibrational energy as shown in Figure 4. Piezoelectric elements can be placed in series or in parallel to achieve desired open-circuit voltages. The LTC3588-2 is well-suited to a piezoelectric energy harvesting application. The 20V input protective shunt can accommodate a variety of piezoelectric elements. The low quiescent current of the LTC3588-2 enables efficient energy accumulation from piezoelectric elements which can have short-circuit currents on the order of tens of microamps. Piezoelectric elements can be obtained from manufacturers listed in Table 2. Table 2.

Such a wireless sensor application may require much more peak power than a piezoelectric element can produce. However, the LTC3588-2 accumulates energy over a long period of time to enable efficient use for short power bursts. For continuous operation, these bursts must occur with a low duty cycle such that the total output energy during the burst does not exceed the average source power integrated over an energy accumulation cycle. For piezoelectric inputs the time between cycles could be minutes, hours, or longer depending on the selected capacitor values and the nature of the vibration source. PGOOD Signal The PGOOD signal can be used to enable a sleeping microprocessor or other circuitry when VOUT reaches regulation, as shown in Figure 5. Typically VIN will be somewhere between the UVLO thresholds at this time and a load could only be supported by the output capacitor. Alternatively, waiting a period of time after PGOOD goes high would let the input capacitor accumulate more energy allowing load current to be maintained longer as the buck efficiently transfers that energy to the output. While active, a microprocessor may draw a small load when operating sensors, and then draw a large load to transmit data. Figure 5 shows the LTC3588-2 responding smoothly to such a load step. Input and Output Capacitor Selection The input and output capacitors should be selected based on the energy needs and load requirements of the application. In every case the VIN capacitor should be rated to withstand the highest voltage ever present at VIN. For 100mA or smaller loads, storing energy at the input takes advantage of the high voltage input since the buck can deliver 100mA average load current efficiently to the output. The input capacitor should then be sized to store enough energy to provide output power for the length of time required. This may involve using a large capacitor, letting VIN charge to a high voltage, or both. Enough energy should be stored on the input so that the buck does not reach the UVLO falling threshold which would halt energy transfer to the output. In general: ( 1 PLOAD tLOAD = ηCIN VIN 2 − VUVLO(FALLING)2 2 VUVLO(FALLING) ≤ VIN ≤ VSHUNT ) The above equation can be used to size the input capacitor to meet the power requirements of the output for an application with continuous input energy. Here η is the average efficiency of the buck converter over the input range and VIN is the input voltage when the buck begins to switch. This equation may overestimate the input capacitor necessary since load current can deplete the output capacitor all the way to the lower PGOOD threshold. It also assumes that the input source charging has a negligible 35882fa 11 LTC3588-2 Applications Information effect during this time. For applications where the output must reach regulation on a single UVLO cycle, the energy required to charge the output capacitor must be taken into account when sizing CIN. The duration for which the regulator sleeps depends on the load current and the size of the output capacitor. The sleep time decreases as the load current increases and/or as the output capacitor decreases. The DC sleep hysteresis window is ±16mV around the programmed output voltage. Ideally this means that the sleep time is determined by the following equation: t SLEEP = COUT 32mV ILOAD This is true for output capacitors on the order of 100µF or larger, but as the output capacitor decreases towards 10µF delays in the internal sleep comparator along with the load current may result in the VOUT voltage slewing past the ±16mV thresholds. This will lengthen the sleep time and increase VOUT ripple. A capacitor less than 10µF is not recommended as VOUT ripple could increase to an undesirable level. If transient load currents above 100mA are required then a larger capacitor can be used at the output. This capacitor will be continuously discharged during a load condition and the capacitor can be sized for an acceptable drop in VOUT: I −I COUT = ( VOUT+ − VOUT– ) LOAD BUCK tLOAD Here VOUT+ is the value of VOUT when PGOOD goes high and VOUT– is the desired lower limit of VOUT. IBUCK is the average current being delivered from the buck converter, typically IPEAK /2. A standard surface mount ceramic capacitor can be used for COUT, though some applications may be better suited to a low leakage aluminum electrolytic capacitor or a supercapacitor. These capacitors can be obtained from manufacturers such as Vishay, Illinois Capacitor, AVX, or CAP-XX. Inductor The buck is optimized to work with a 22µH inductor. Inductor values greater than 22µH may yield benefits in some applications. For example, a larger inductor will benefit high voltage applications by increasing the on-time of the PMOS switch and improving efficiency by reducing gate charge loss. Choose an inductor with a DC current rating greater than 350mA. The DCR of the inductor can have an impact on efficiency as it is a source of loss. Trade-offs between price, size, and DCR should be evaluated. Table 3 lists several inductors that work well with the LTC3588-2. Table 3.

These capacitors hold up the internal rails during buck switching and compensate the internal rail generation circuits. Additional Applications with Piezo Inputs The versatile LTC3588-2 can be used in a variety of configurations. Figure 6 shows a single piezo source powering two LTC3588-2s simultaneously, providing capability for multiple rail systems. As the piezo provides input power both VIN rails will initially come up together, but when one output starts drawing power, only its corresponding VIN will fall as the bridges of each LTC3588-2 provide isolation. Input piezo energy will then be directed to this lower voltage capacitor until both VIN rails are again equal. This configuration is expandable to any number of LTC3588-2s powered by a single piezo as long as the piezo can support the sum total of the quiescent currents from each LTC3588-2. 35882fa 12 LTC3588-2 Applications Information ADVANCED CERAMETRICS PFCB-W14 PGOOD1 PZ1 PZ2 PZ1 PZ2 PGOOD VIN VIN PGOOD 22µH 5.0V SW LTC3588-2 VOUT 10µF 6V CAP 1µF 6V 10µF 25V VIN2 D1 D0 GND 1µF 6V 4.7µF 6V 10µF 25V LTC3588-2 CAP 22µH 3.45V SW VOUT VIN2 4.7µF 6V PGOOD2 10µF 6V D1 D0 GND 35882 F06 Figure 6.

Figure 7 shows the LTC3588-2 internal bridge rectifier connected to the AC line in series with four 150k current limiting resistors. This is a high voltage application and minimum spacing between the line, neutral, and any high voltage components should be maintained per the applicable UL specification.

Electric Field Energy Harvester 35882fa 13 LTC3588-2 applications information The frequency of the emission will be 120Hz for magnetic ballasts but could be higher if the light uses electronic ballast. The LTC3588-2 bridge rectifier can handle a wide range of input frequencies. Figure 9 shows the LTC3588-2 powered by a 48V communications line. In this example, 1mA is the maximum current that is allowed to be drawn. The 28k current limiting resistor sets this current as the LTC3588-2 will shunt VIN at 20V. The advantage of this scheme is that the current at the output is multiplied by the ratio of VIN to VOUT (less the loss in the buck converter). This is useful in cases where greater current is needed at the output than is available at the input. The high UVLO of 16V prevents any start-up issue as there is already a good multiplication factor at that level. This same technique can be extended to AC source that also have limited current available at the input. 48V 28k PZ1 1mA 1µF 6V 47µF 25V 4.7µF 6V PZ2 VIN PGOOD LTC3588-2 22µH CAP SW VIN2 VOUT D1 D0 GND PGOOD VOUT 3.45V 3.5mA 10µF 6V + LiFePO4 35882 F09 Figure 9.
