Wireless AND Solar?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25570, BQ25505, BQ25504

I'm hoping to find a product that can take in the weak power from an RF rectifier CKT and dump that energy either into a super capacitor or battery.  I also hope that the same solution can handle a much higher power solar cell.  Do you have such a focused product or application note that I can look at?  Is it possible one IC can do both?  How much voltage and curent from either source will vary quite a bit except the target solar solution will come in about 1.8V @ mA's.

  • Hello David,

    Please take a look at the BQ25570. It is an energy harvesting device that also has a programmable regulated output. The BQ25504 and BQ25505 are our other energy harvesting devices although they don't have regulated outputs.The BQ25505 has support for a primary non rechargeable battery and a secondary rechargeable battery. All these devices work well with both batteries and super capacitor applications for energy storage. You can find the datasheet for the devices below:
