The NEH2000BY by Nexperia is a high-performance energy harvesting solution for low-power applications. The NEH2000BY harvests energy generated by a photo-voltaic (PV) cell. The energy charges a rechargeable battery.
Nexperia’s advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) uses an embedded hill-climbing algorithm to deliver the maximum power to the load. The MPPT is designed to be independent of specific characteristics of the harvesters, therefore any harvester that fits the specifications of the chip can be used. Moreover, the MPPT circuit can detect the maximum power point with an interval of 0.7 second resulting in maximum efficiency in various environments where energy can rapidly change over time.
The NEH2000BY is available in a Plastic 16 terminal Quad Flat package, 3 mm x 3 mm.
