Increasing Efficiency and Design Flexibility for Harvesting Applications with TPS62125
Thomas Hoffmann
Developers working with high impedance sources, such as current loops or discontinuous energy sources like harvesters, tend to use a storage element in front of the voltage regulator to buffer the energy. To avoid starting the application before the regulator can provide a stable output voltage (wasting...
