BQ25505: Need higher input curent than the bq25505

Part Number: BQ25505

I have a solar panel with an output voltage of 0.6 volt and 600 ma output. The max input current of the BQ25505 can only handle 285 ma of input current. Is there a harverster chip that can handle the higher input current?

  • Hi MIke,

    Unfortunately no. You could try parallel connecting multiple BQ25505 but their MPP circuits will likely interfere with each other.   Alternatively, you can built a two chip harvester using a boost converter and op amp as explained in the appnote below:
