hi,

I'm looking for a PV module I-V curve tracer or any app note how to implement it.

do we have anything on this topic?

something like https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0196890418305235, for example...

thanks a lot in advance

Hi Vincenzo,

Here is the link to a reference design that shows how to use BQ25895 (I 2C Controlled Single Cell 5-A Fast Charger with MaxChargeTM for High Input Voltage), with Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm for Low-Power Solar Battery Charging: http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/tidudj2/tidudj2.pdf .

This is the closest I could find to the topic mentioned above.
