DC1830B-D, Demo Board Using LTC4000-1, 20-60 Vin Battery Charger Controller and PowerPath Manager with Maximum Power Point Control

Descripción

• DC1830B-D, Demonstration Circuit is a battery charger controller and PowerPath manager with maximum power point control (MPPC) featuring the LTC4000-1. MPPC extracts near maximum power from high impedance sources such as solar panels, wind turbines or fuel cells. MPPC is achieved by means of an input voltage regulation control loop. This board should be connected to a front-end DC/DC power supply for a complete charger solution. The DC1830B is customizable to handle a wide variety of applications with output voltages from 3V to 30V and output currents up to 6.5A with the PFETs supplied and up to 60V at 13A with higher voltage rating and/or added PFETs. The reference design provided with DC1830B is targeted at 4-cell LiFePO4 (14.6V/5A) applications
