Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25570, BQ25176, BQ25173, TIDA-00588
Hi dear people,
I am considering the BQ25570 for an Energy Harvesting Design getting the energy from a piezo element and charging a super capacitor.
However, the BQ25176 looks very interesting, because it is linear (less noisy?) and the circuit looks much simpler than by the BQ25570.
The question is: would I be able to charge a super capacitor, instead of a battery?
The reason for using a super cap instead of a battery is because I need a quick start of my system with a depleated power element.
By a Battery this would take time and my hope is this could be quicker with a capacitor.
Thanks for the help and
kind regards,
Gustavo
