... CBC-EVAL-09, forcing the CBC-EVAL-09 circuit into a cutoff mode and thereby disconnecting the EnerChips from the circuit. Drawing a brief burst of a few milliamperes from the CBC-EVAL-09 will force the cutoff condition to occur within a few seconds. This will ensure that the charge/discharge cycle life of the EnerChips will be greater than 5000, as rated ...

... CBC-EVAL-09 EnerChip EP Universal EH Eval Kit to replenish the energy storage device. If the power budget is not exceeded during this phase, the system can continue with its initialization. Next, the main initialization of the system, radio links, analog circuits, and so forth, can begin. Care should be taken to ensure that the time the system is on during this phase does not exceed the power budget. Several sleep cycles might be needed to ‘ ...

... This depends on many factors, including load power consumption, EnerChip state-of-charge, operating temperature, etc. The EnerChips on the CBC51100 module provide 100µAh of discharge capacity when fully charged. Q: How long will the CBC-EVAL-09 module last if I use it every day and input power is available most of the time? A: The CBC-EVAL-09 module should last at least 10 years. ...

... CBC-EVAL-09 EnerChip EP Universal EH Eval Kit Q: How can the EVAL-09 startup time be reduced and the time it takes the CBC915 to find the maximum peak power point The EVAL-09 utilizes a Seiko S-882Z24-M5T1G charge pump to accumulate energy at startup and then dumps this energy into the CBC915 energy processor. Once the CBC915 starts up, it automatically disables the Seiko charge pump and operates a more efficient inductive boost converter ...
