LTC3588-1 Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Power Supply FEATURES DESCRIPTION n The LTC®3588-1 integrates a low-loss full-wave bridge rectifier with a high efficiency buck converter to form a complete energy harvesting solution optimized for high output impedance energy sources such as piezoelectric transducers. An ultralow quiescent current undervoltage lockout (UVLO) mode with a wide hysteresis window allows charge to accumulate on an input capacitor until the buck converter can efficiently transfer a portion of the stored charge to the output. In regulation, the LTC3588-1 enters a sleep state in which both input and output quiescent currents are minimal. The buck converter turns on and off as needed to maintain regulation. n n n n n n n n n 950nA Input Quiescent Current (Output in Regulation – No Load) 450nA Input Quiescent Current in UVLO 2.7V to 20V Input Operating Range Integrated Low-Loss Full-Wave Bridge Rectifier Up to 100mA of Output Current Selectable Output Voltages of 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 3.6V High Efficiency Integrated Hysteretic Buck DC/DC Input Protective Shunt – Up to 25mA Pull-Down at VIN ≥ 20V Wide Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Range Available in 10-Lead MSE and 3mm × 3mm DFN Packages APPLICATIONS n n n n n n n n Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Electro-Mechanical Energy Harvesting Wireless HVAC Sensors Mobile Asset Tracking Tire Pressure Sensors Battery Replacement for Industrial Sensors Remote Light Switches Standalone Nanopower Buck Regulator Four output voltages, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 3.6V, are pin selectable with up to 100mA of continuous output current; however, the output capacitor may be sized to service a higher output current burst.

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. 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). SW (Pin 5): Switch Pin for the Buck Switching Regulator. A 10μH or larger inductor should be connected from SW to VOUT. VOUT (Pin 6): Sense pin used to monitor the output voltage and adjust it through internal feedback. 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. 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). 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. GND (Exposed Pad Pin 11): Ground. The Exposed Pad should be connected to a continuous ground plane on the second layer of the printed circuit board by several vias directly under the LTC3588-1. 35881f 7 LTC3588-1 BLOCK DIAGRAM VIN 4 20V INTERNAL RAIL GENERATION 3 CAP 5 SW 7 VIN2 PZ1 1 PZ2 2 BUCK CONTROL UVLO 11 GND SLEEP BANDGAP REFERENCE 8, 9 D1, D0 6 VOUT 2 PGOOD COMPARATOR 10 PGOOD 35881 BD 35881f 8 LTC3588-1 OPERATION Internal Bridge Rectifier The LTC3588-1 has an internal full-wave bridge rectifier accessible via the differential PZ1 and PZ2 inputs that rectifies AC inputs such as those from a piezoelectric element. 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. 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 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 LTC3588-1 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. 10 8 6 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 (~1V) UVLO hysteresis window is employed with a lower threshold approximately 300mV above the selected regulated output voltage to prevent short cycling during buck power-up. When the input capacitor voltage is depleted below the UVLO falling threshold the buck converter is disabled. Extremely low quiescent current (450nA typical) in UVLO allows energy to accumulate on the input capacitor in situations where energy must be harvested from low power sources.

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 35881f 9 LTC3588-1 OPERATION 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 LTC3588-1 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. 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. Four selectable voltages are available by tying the output select bits, D0 and D1, to GND or VIN2. Table 1 shows the four D0/D1 codes and their corresponding output voltages. Table 1. Output Voltage Selection D1 D0 VOUT 0 0 1.8V 44nA 0 1 2.5V 62nA 1 0 3.3V 81nA 1 1 3.6V 89nA VOUT QUIESCENT CURRENT (IVOUT) The internal feedback network draws a small amount of current from VOUT as listed in Table 1. Power Good Comparator A power good comparator produces a logic high referenced to VOUT on the PGOOD pin the first time the converter reaches the sleep threshold of the programmed VOUT, signaling that the output is in regulation. The PGOOD pin will remain high until VOUT falls to 92% of the desired 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 = 3.6V and no load. At t = 75s VIN becomes high impedance and is discharged by the quiescent current of the LTC3588-1 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. 6 CVIN = CVOUT = 100μF 5 VOLTAGE (V) 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 less than 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 load current when it is switching. VIN VIN = UVLO FALLING 4 VOUT 3 2 PGOOD 1 0 0 100 200 300 TIME (s) 35881 F02 Figure 2. PGOOD Operation During Transition to UVLO 35881f 10 LTC3588-1 OPERATION The D0/D1 inputs can be switched while in regulation as shown in Figure 3. If VOUT is programmed to a voltage with a PGOOD falling threshold above the old VOUT, PGOOD will transition low until the new regulation point is reached. When VOUT is programmed to a lower voltage, PGOOD will remain high through the transition. 5 COUT = 100μF, ILOAD = 100mA D1=D0=0 VOUT VOLTAGE (V) 4 D1=D0=1 D1=D0=0 3 VOUT 2 1 0 PGOOD = LOGIC1 0 2 4 6 Energy Storage Harvested energy can be stored on the input capacitor or the output capacitor. The wide input range 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. 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 TIME (ms) 35881 F03 Figure 3.

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 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 opencircuit voltages. 12 PIEZO VOLTAGE (V) 9 INCREASING VIBRATION ENERGY 6 3 0 0 10 20 PIEZO CURRENT (μA) 30 The LTC3588-1 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 LTC3588-1 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 LTC3588-1 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. 35881 F04 Figure 4.

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 LTC3588-1 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 − VUVLOFALLING 2 2 VUVLOFALLING ≤ VIN ≤ VSHUNT ) The above equation can be used to size the input capacitor to meet the power requirements of the output for the desired duration. 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 effect during this time. 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 ±12mV around the programmed output voltage. Ideally this means that the sleep time is determined by the following equation: t SLEEP = COUT 24mV ILOAD 35881f 13 LTC3588-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 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 ±12mV 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 an inductor in the range of 10μH to 22μH, although inductor values outside this range may yield benefits in some applications. For typical applications, a value of 10μH is recommended. 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. Tradeoffs between price, size, and DCR should be evaluated. Table 3 lists several inductors that work well with the LTC3588-1. Table 3.

These capacitors hold up the internal rails during buck switching and compensate the internal rail generation circuits. In applications where the input source is limited to less than 6V, the CAP pin can be tied to GND and the VIN2 pin can be tied to VIN as shown in Figure 6. An optional 5.6V Zener diode can be connected to VIN to clamp VIN in this scenario. The leakage of the Zener diode below its Zener voltage should be considered as it may be comparable to the quiescent current of the LTC3588-1. This circuit does not require the capacitors on VIN2 and CAP, saving components and allowing a lower voltage rating for the single VIN capacitor.

Smallest Solution Size 1.8V Low Voltage Input Piezoelectric Power Supply 35881f 14 LTC3588-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION A piezo powered LTC3588-1 can also be used in concert with a battery connected to VIN to supplement the system if ambient vibrational energy ceases as shown in Figure 8. A blocking diode placed in series with the battery to VIN prevents reverse current in the battery if the piezo source charges VIN past the battery voltage. A 9V battery is shown, but any stack of batteries of a given chemistry can be used as long as the battery stack voltage does not exceed 18V. In this setup the presence of the piezo energy harvester can greatly increase the life of the battery. If the piezo source is removed the LTC3588-1 can serve as a standalone nanopower buck converter. In this case the bridge is unused and the blocking diode is unnecessary. Additional Applications with Piezo Inputs The versatile LTC3588-1 can be used in a variety of configurations. Figure 7 shows a single piezo source powering two LTC3588-1s simultaneously, providing capability for multiple rail systems. This setup features automatic supply sequencing as the LTC3588-1 with the lower voltage output (i.e. lower UVLO rising threshold) will come up first. 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 LTC3588-1 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 LTC3588-1s powered by a single piezo as long as the piezo can support the sum total of the quiescent currents from each LTC3588-1.

Electric Field Energy Harvester Alternate Power Sources The LTC3588-1 is not limited to use with piezoelectric elements but can accommodate a wide variety of input sources depending on the type of ambient energy available. Figure 9 shows the LTC3588-1 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. For general off-line applications refer to UL regulation 1012. Figure 10 shows an application where copper panels are placed near a standard fluorescent room light to capacitively harvest energy from the electric field around the light. The frequency of the emission will be 120Hz for magnetic ballasts but could be higher if the light uses electronic ballast. The LTC3588-1 bridge rectifier can handle a wide range of input frequencies. The LTC3588-1 can also be configured for use with DC sources such as a solar panel or thermal couple as shown in Figures 11 and 12 by connecting them to one of the PZ1/PZ2 inputs. Connecting the two sources in this way prevents reverse current from flowing in each element. Current limiting resistors should be used to protect the PZ1 or PZ2 pins. This can be combined with a battery backup connected to VIN with a blocking diode. 35881f 16 LTC3588-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 300Ω PZ1 PZ2 VIN PGOOD IR05H4OCSPTR + – 1μF 6V 5V TO 16V SOLAR PANEL 9V BATTERY 100μF 25V 4.7μF 6V LTC3588-1 PGOOD 10μH CAP SW VIN2 VOUT VOUT 2.5V + D0 D1 10μF 6V GND 3F 2.7V NESS SUPER CAPACITOR ESHSR-0003CO-002R7 35881 F11 Figure 11. 5V to 16V Solar-Powered 2.5V Supply with Supercapacitor for Increased Output Energy Storage and Battery Backup RS, 5.2Ω 100Ω PG-1 THERMAL GENERATOR P/N G1-1.0-127-1.27 (TELLUREX) 1μF 6V 5.4V 1μF 16V 4.7μF 6V PZ1 PZ2 VIN PGOOD LTC3588-1 PGOOD 10μH CAP SW VIN2 VOUT VOUT 2.5V 47μF 6V D0 D1 GND 35881 F12 Figure 12.
