DC2042A Bottom Assembly Drawings dc2042af 7 DEMO MANUAL DC2042A APPLICATION INFORMATION JUMPER FUNCTIONS JP1: Power selection jumper used to select the LTC3588-1, piezoelectric energy harvesting power supply. The 100F capacitors have a voltage coefficient of 0.47 at 5.25V. Caution: Only JP9 or JP10 may be connected at any one time. Do not populate both JP9 and JP10. JP3: Power selection jumper used to select the LTC3105, powered by a diode voltage drop in a 4mA to 20mA loop. Note: For this board to properly interface with a Dust Mote (DC9003A-B) or a Manager (DC9003A-A) board and switch the power from the battery to the energy harvesting source, resistor R3 on the Dust Mote board must be changed to 750k and R4 must be changed to 5.1M. JP4: Power selection jumper used to select the LTC3459, powered by a solar panel TURRET FUNCTIONS JP2: Power selection jumper used to select the LTC3108, TEG-powered energy harvester. JP5: Routes the LTC3588-1 PGOOD signal to the Dust Header PGOOD output. The LTC3588-1 PGOOD comparator produces a logic high referenced to VOUT on the PGOOD pin the first time the converter reaches the sleep threshold of the programmed VOUT, signaling that the output is in regulation. The PGOOD pin will remain high until VOUT falls to 92% of the desired regulation voltage. Additionally, if PGOOD is high and VIN falls below the UVLO falling threshold, PGOOD will remain high until VOUT falls to 92% of the desired regulation point. This allows output energy to be used even if the input is lost. JP6: Routes the LTC3108 PGOOD signal to the Dust Header PGOOD output. JP7: Routes the LTC3105 PGOOD signal to the Dust Header PGOOD output. JP8: Routes the LTC3459 PGOOD signal to the Dust Header PGOOD output. JP9: Connects the fifteen optional energy storage capacitors directly to VOUT (VSUPPLY of the Dust Header) to be used by the load to store energy at the output voltage level. The 100F capacitors have a voltage coefficient of 0.61 of their labeled value at 3.3V and 0.47 at 5.25V. Caution: Only JP9 or JP10 may be connected at any one time. Do not populate both JP9 AND JP10. JP10: Connects the fifteen optional energy storage capacitors directly to VSTORE of the LTC3108 TEG-powered energy harvester circuit, which is the output for the Storage capacitor or battery. A large capacitor may be connected from VSTORE to GND for powering the system in the event the input voltage is lost. It will be charged up to the maximum VAUX clamp voltage, typically 5.25V. PZ1 (E1): Input connection for piezoelectric element or other AC source (used in conjunction with PZ2). A high impedance DC source may be applied between this pin and BGND to power the LTC3588-1 circuit. Caution: The maximum current into this pin is 50mA. PZ2 (E2): Input connection for piezoelectric element or other AC source (used in conjunction with PZ1). A high impedance DC source may be applied between this pin and BGND to power the LTC3588-1 circuit. Caution: The maximum current into this pin is 50mA. VIN, 20mV to 400mV (E3): Input to the LTC3108, TEGpowered energy harvester. The input impedance of the LTC3108 power circuit is approximately 3, so the source impedance of the TEG should be less than 10 to have good power transfer. TEGs with approximately 3 will have the best power transfer. The input voltage range is 20mV to 400mV. BGND (E4, E6, E8, E11, E14): This is the board ground. BGND is connected to all the circuits on the board except the headers. BGND and HGND, the header ground, are connected through Q3 when the VMCU voltage with respect to BGND reaches the rising RESET threshold of U2 and disconnected when VMCU falls to the falling reset threshold. The board is configured from the factory to connect BGND and HGND when VMCU equals 3.15V and disconnect them when VMCU equals 2.25V. +VIN, 4mA to 20mA Loop (E5): Input to the LTC3105 supplied by a diode voltage drop. The current into this terminal must be limited to between 4mA and 20mA. The current into this turret flows through diode D1 to generate the diode voltage drop and into the LTC3105 power management circuit. dc2042af 8 DEMO MANUAL DC2042A APPLICATION INFORMATION VIN SOLAR (E7): Input to the LTC3459, solar-powered circuit with maximum power point control provided by the LTC2935-4. The input regulation point for the MPPC function is 1.73V. The input range is 1.72V to 3.3V. Pin 8 (EHORBAT): Signal indicating if the battery or the energy harvester is providing power to the system. Refer to the individual device data sheet for the interpretation of the polarity. HGND (E9, E13): This is the header ground. HGND is the switched ground to the headers that ensures the load is presented with a quickly rising voltage. BGND and HGND are connected through Q3 when the VMCU voltage with respect to BGND reaches the rising RESET threshold of U2 and disconnected when VMCU falls to the falling reset threshold. The board is configured from the factory to connect BGND and HGND when VMCU equals 3.15V and disconnect them when VMCU equals 2.25V. Pin 9 (I/O 2): Connected to general purpose I/O input on DUST DC9003A-X. VMCU (E10, E12): Regulated output of all the active energy harvester power management circuits, referenced to BGND. When VMCU is referenced to HGND it is a switched output that is passed through the headers, J1 and J2, to power the load. J2 DUST HEADER SIGNALS Pin 1 (VSUPPLY): Switched power from EH multisource demo board. As configured from the factory via the LTC2935-2 circuitry, this voltage is switched on at 3.15V and off at 2.25V. On the board this node is labeled VMCU. Pin 2 (NC): No connect on EH multisource demo board. Pin 3 (GND): Switched GND when VSUPPLY is greater than 3.15V, rising and 2.25V, falling. On the board this signal is labeled HGND. Pin 4 (PGOOD): PGOOD signal from EH multisource demo board. When this signal is high, the SPDT switch on the DUST demo board will switch from the battery to the energy harvested source. Pin 5 (KEY): Metal insert in header to ensure proper insertion location and orientation. No electrical connection. Pin 6 (VBAT): Raw battery voltage from (to) DUST board. Pin 7 (RSVD): Reserved for future use, no connection on EH multisource board. Pin 10 (I/O 1): Connected to general purpose I/O input on DUST DC9003A-X. Pin 11 (+5V): 5V input provided by DC9006A board, not anticipated to be used by or provided from EH board. Pin 12 (V+): 12V input provided by DC9006A board, not anticipated to be used by or provided from eh board. J3 AND J4 TRANSDUCER HEADER SIGNALS Pin 1 (VIN_LTC3459): Solar panel input. The allowable range for this input voltage is 1.72V to 3.3V. Pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (GND): Connected to board ground "BGND" to power the power management circuits. Pin 3 (VIN_LTC3105): Connect in series with 4mA to 20mA loop. The Loop current will flow into this pin and out a board GND connection. Pin 5 (VIN_LTC3108): Thermal electric generator input, input to step-up transformer. The allowable range for this input voltage is 20mV to 400mV. The source impedance of the TEG should be less than 10 for good power matching. Pin 7 (VIN_LTC3588-1): Rectified AC voltage, direct input to LTC3588-1 DC/DC. The allowable range for this input voltage is 5V to 18V. If the DC source is greater than 18V, the maximum current allowed into this pin is 5mA. Pin 9 (PZ1): Raw battery voltage from (to) the DC9003A-X DUST board. Pin 11 (PZ2): Reserved for future use, no connection on EH multisource board. Pin 12 (KEY): Metal insert in header to ensure proper insertion location and orientation. No electrical connection. dc2042af 9 DEMO MANUAL DC2042A APPLICATION INFORMATION LTC3588-1: PIEZOELECTRIC ENERGY HARVESTING POWER SUPPLY (VIBRATION OR HIGH IMPEDANCE AC SOURCE) The LTC3588-1 piezoelectric energy harvesting power supply is selected by installing the power selection jumper, JP1. The PGOOD signal can be routed to the Dust Header by installing jumper JP5. The Dust Eterna board will switch from battery power to energy harvester power whenever the PGOOD signal is high, provided that resistor R3 on the Dust Mote board (DC9003A-B) is changed to 750k and R4 is changed to 5.1M. If the application requires a wide hyteresis window for the PGOOD signal, the board has the provision to use the independent PGOOD signal, shown in Figure 12, generated by the LTC2935-2 and available on JP8. This signal is labeled as the PGOOD signal for the LTC3459 circuit (PGOOD_LTC3459), because the LTC3459 does not have its own PGOOD output. The PGOOD_LTC3459 signal can be used in place of any of the PGOOD signals generated by the harvester circuits. The board is configured from the factory to use the PGOOD_LTC3459 signal as the PGOOD signal to switch from battery power to energy harvesting power. The PGOOD_LTC3459 signal is always used to switch the output voltage on the header. Some loads do not like to see a slowly rising input voltage. Switch Q3 ensures that VSUPPLY and VMCU on the headers are off until the energy harvested output voltage is high enough to power the load. The LTC2935-2 is configured to turn on Q3 at 3.15V and turn off Q3 at 2.25V. With this circuit, the load will see a fast voltage rise at start-up and be able to utilize all the energy stored in the output capacitors between the 3.15V and 2.25V levels. The optional components R1, R4, Q1 and C5 shown on the schematic are not populated for a standard assembly. The function of R1, R4, Q1 and C5 is to generate a short PGOOD pulse that will indicate when the output capacitor is charged to its maximum value. The short pulse occurs every time the output capacitor charges up to the "output sleep threshold," which for a 3.3V output is 3.312V. By populating these components the application can use this short pulse as a sequence timer to step through the program sequence or as an indication of when it can perform energy-intensive functions, such as a sensor read or a wireless transmission and/or receive, knowing precisely how much charge is available in the output capacitors. When this optional circuit is not used, the amount of charge in the output capacitors is anywhere between the maximum (COUT *VOUT_SLEEP) to eight percent low. In the case where the energy harvesting source can support the average load continuously, this optional circuit is not needed. Diode D2 is an optional component used to "Diode-OR" multiple energy harvesting sources together. This diode would be used in conjunction with one or more of the other Oring diodes, D3, D4 or D5. When the Oring diodes are installed the parallel jumper would not be populated. The diode drop will be subtracted from the output voltage regulation point, so it is recommended to change the feedback resistors or select a higher output voltage setpoint to compensate for the diode drop. When more than one of these diodes is installed and the associated energy harvester inputs are powered, the board will switch between energy harvester power circuits as needed to maintain the output voltage. Figure 8. Detailed Schematic of LTC3588-1 Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Power Supply 10 dc2042af DEMO MANUAL DC2042A APPLICATION INFORMATION LTC3108: TEG-POWERED ENERGY HARVESTER The LTC3108 TEG-powered energy harvester is selected by installing the power selection jumper JP2. The PGOOD signal, PGOOD_LTC3108, can be routed to the Dust Header by installing jumper JP6. The LTC3108 PGOOD signal is pulled up to the on-chip 2.2V LDO through a 1M pull-up resistor. The Dust Eterna board will switch from battery power to energy harvester power whenever the PGOOD_LTC3108 signal is high. Provided that, R4, on the Dust Mote demo board, DC9003A-B, is changed to 5.1M. If the application requires a wide hysteresis window for the PGOOD signal, please refer to the above section for a complete operational description of and how to use the independent PGOOD signal (PGOOD_LTC3459), shown in Figure 12, generated by the LTC2935-2 and available on JP8. The PGOOD_LTC3459 signal is always used to switch the output voltage on the header. Some loads do not like to see a slowly rising input voltage. Switch Q3 ensures that VSUPPLY and VMCU on the headers are off until the energy harvested output voltage is high enough to power the load. When the PGOOD signal from the LTC3108 is used as the header signal, the setpoint for the LTC2935-2 circuit needs to be changed so the turn-on threshold is below the PGOOD_LTC3108 turn-on threshold of 3.053V. For example, by changing R36 to a 0 jumper and R5 to "NOPOP", the turn-on threshold for Q3 will be 2.99V rising and 2.25V falling. The single supply SPDT analog switch, ISL43L210, on the Dust Mote needs a digital input voltage greater than 1.4V to consider it a "Logic 1" and switch from the battery to the energy harvester-powered source. When using the PGOOD signal from the LTC3108, the pull-down resistor, R4, on the Dust Mote demo board, DC9003A-B, should be changed to 5.1M to avoid creating a resistor divider with the internal 1M LTC3108 PGOOD pull-up resistor. Diode D3 is an optional component used to "Diode-OR" multiple energy harvesting sources together. This diode would be used in conjunction with one or more of the other Oring diodes, D2, D4 or D5. When the Oring diodes are installed the parallel jumper would not be populated. The diode drop will be subtracted from the output voltage setpoint, so it is recommended to change the feedback resistors or select a higher output voltage setpoint to compensate for the diode drop. When more than one of these diodes is installed and the associated energy harvester inputs are powered, the board will switch between energy harvester power circuits as needed to maintain the output voltage. Figure 9. Detailed Schematic of LTC3108 TEG-Powered Energy Harvester dc2042af 11 DEMO MANUAL DC2042A APPLICATION INFORMATION LTC3105: SUPPLIED BY DIODE VOLTAGE DROP IN 4mA TO 20mA LOOP The LTC3105 4mA to 20mA loop, diode voltage droppowered energy harvester is selected by installing the power selection jumper, JP3. The PGOOD signal, PGOOD_ LTC3105, can be routed to the Dust Header by installing jumper JP7. The PGOOD_LTC3105 signal is an open-drain output. The pull-down is disabled at the beginning of the first sleep event after the output voltage has risen above 90% of its regulation value. PGOOD_LTC3105 remains asserted until VOUT drops below 90% of its regulation value at which point PGOOD_LTC3105 will pull low. The pull-down is also disabled while the IC is in shutdown or start-up mode. The Dust Eterna board will switch from battery power to energy harvester power whenever the PGOOD signal is high (>1.4V). Again a resistor divider is generated by the pull-up resistor R23 on the DC2042A and R4, the pull-down resistor on the DC9003A-A or DC9003A-B. Provided that R4 is changed as described above to 5.1M, the voltage seen by the analog switch will be sufficient to register as a "Logic 1" and switch the Mote or Manager from the battery to the energy harvested source. If the application would benefit from a wider PGOOD hyteresis window than the LTC3105 provides (sleep to VOUT minus 10%), please refer to the above section for a complete operational description of and how to use the independent PGOOD signal (PGOOD_LTC3459), shown in Figure 12, generated by the LTC2935-2 and available on JP8. The PGOOD_LTC3459 signal is always used to switch the output voltage on the Header. Some loads do not like to see a slowly rising input voltage. Switch Q3 ensures that VSUPPLY and VMCU on the headers are off until the energy harvested output voltage is high enough to power the load. The PGOOD_LTC3459 signal can be used in place of any of the PGOOD signals generated by the harvester circuits. The optional components shown on the schematic are not populated for a standard assembly. The function of R22 and Q2 is to generate a short PGOOD pulse that will indicate when the output capacitor is charged to its maximum value. The short pulse occurs every time the output capacitor charges up to the "output sleep threshold", which for a 3.3V output is 3.312V. By populating these components the application can use this short pulse as a sequence timer to step through the program sequence or as an indication of when it can perform energy intensive functions, such as a sensor read or a wireless transmission and/or receive, knowing precisely how much charge is available in the output capacitors. When this optional circuit is not used, the amount of charge in the output capacitors is anywhere between the maximum (COUT * VOUT_SLEEP) to ten percent low. In the case where the energy harvesting source can support the average load continuously, this optional circuit is not needed. Figure 10. Detailed Schematic of LTC3105 4mA to 20mA Loop, Diode Voltage Drop Energy Harvester dc2042af 12 DEMO MANUAL DC2042A APPLICATION INFORMATION Diode D4 is an optional component used to "Diode-OR" multiple energy harvesting sources together. This diode would be used in conjunction with one or more of the other Oring diodes, D2, D3 or D5. When the Oring diodes are installed the parallel jumper would not be populated. The diode drop will be subtracted from the output voltage setpoint so it is recommended to change the feedback resistors or select a higher output voltage setpoint to compensate for the diode drop. When more than one of these diodes is installed and the associated energy harvester inputs are powered, the board will switch between energy harvester power circuits as needed to maintain the output voltage. LTC3459 SUPPLIED BY SOLAR CELL The LTC3459 solar-powered energy harvester is selected by installing the power selection jumper, JP4. The PGOOD signal, PGOOD_LTC3459, can be routed to the Dust Header by installing jumper JP8. The LTC2935-4 adds a hysteretic input voltage regulation function to the LTC3459 application circuit. The PFO output of the LTC2935-4 is connected to the SHDN input on the LTC3459, which means that the LTC3459 will be off until VIN_LTC3459 rises above 1.743V (1.72V + 2.5%) and will then turn off when VIN_LTC3459 falls below 1.72V. The result is that the input voltage to the LTC3459 circuit will be regulated to 1.73V, the average of the LTC2934-4 rising and falling PFO thresholds. The threshold can be adjusted for the peak operating point of the solar panel selected. In this design, because the LTC3459 output is set to 3.3V and is a boost topology, the input voltage is limited to 3.3V. The LTC3459 does not have an internally generated PGOOD signal so the LTC2935-2 was used to generate a PGOOD function with an adjustable hysteresis window. The NOPOP and 0 resistors around the LTC2935-2 allow for customization of the PGOOD thresholds and hysteresis window. By using R14, R35 and R36 the inputs can be changed after the rising threshold is reached, creating a large hysteresis window. The PGOOD_LTC3459 signal can be used in place of any of the PGOOD signals generated by the harvester circuits. The PGOOD_LTC3459 signal is always used to switch the output voltage on the header. The board is configured from the factory to use the PGOOD_LTC3459 signal as the PGOOD signal to switch from battery power to energy harvesting power. The PGOOD_LTC3459 signal is always used to switch the output voltage on the header. Some loads do not like to see a slowly rising input voltage. Switch Q3 ensures that VSUPPLY and VMCU on the headers are off until the energy harvested output voltage is high enough to power the load. The LTC2935-2 is configured to to turn on Q3 at 3.15V and turn off Q3 at 2.25V. With this circuit, the load will see a fast voltage rise at start-up and be able to utilize all the energy stored in the output capacitors between the 3.15V and 2.25V levels. Diode D4 is an optional component used to "Diode-OR" multiple energy harvesting sources together. This diode would be used in conjunction with one or more of the other Oring diodes, D2, D3 or D5. When the Oring diodes are installed the parallel jumper would not be populated. The diode drop will be subtracted from the output voltage setpoint, so it is recommended to change the feedback resistors or select a higher output voltage setpoint to compensate for the diode drop.
