MATRIX Industries Mercury DC/DC Boost Converters

Author : Matrix industries Published Time : 2019-09-16
MATRIX Industries Mercury DC/DC Boost Converters are ideal for harvesting and managing surplus energy from extremely low input voltage sources. This includes TEGs (thermoelectric generators) and thermopiles. The patented transformer reuse topology works as a flyback converter, and operates from a few microwatts of input power. The unique impedance matching feature presents a constant impedance load and enables the highest efficiency energy harvesting across the entire operating range of input voltages.

Features

A new low to lead a new era of energy harvestingVIN as low as 10mV (VOC=20mV, RIN =5Ω) to VOUT of up to 5VVIN as low as 6mV (VOC =12mV, RIN =5Ω) to VOUT of 3VUltra-Low quiescent current of 700nA ensures the fastest possible charge times of the output reservoir capacitorCold-start with VOC=16mV (RIN=5Ω, 1:100 transformer)

A new high of efficiency to maximize power transferUp to 80% peak conversion efficiencyNear-ideal impedance matching with input source

Minimized power leakage with active input monitoring Built-in VOC monitoring through an 8-bit ADCTrue shutdown by disconnecting output when VOC is below startup requirement securing zero power leakage

Miniaturized solution size
Three external components are required: input capacitor, output capacitor and a transformerOptional Schottky diode for efficiency improvementCompact WLP package available
