Design files

Overview

The TIDA-050039 reference design demonstrates how to use a fully-integrated synchronous boost converter TPS61089 in combination with a single-cell solar panel to charge a li-ion battery. An additional maximum power-point (MPP) sampling network is implemented to dynamically control the input voltage to optimize the transfer of power from solar panel.

Features
  • Low working input voltage range: 0.4 V to 0.6 V
  • Fixed Maximum Power Point (MPP)
  • Maximum charging current up to 200 mA
  • High efficiency
  • Simple and flexible
