CBC-EVAL-10

The CBC-EVAL-10 is a demonstration kit that provides designers a platform to easily develop energy harvesting (EH) solutions using the EnerChip CBC3150TM configured to operate in an energy harvesting mode. The kit combines a small solar panel, power management circuit, energy storage, regulated output voltage, and input/output pins for connection to commercially available microcontroller (MCU) and radio boards. A 16pin CBC51100 module is included, providing the EH functions, battery management, and 100µAh solid state rechargeable energy storage. CBC-EVAL-10 is a practical, low cost realization of an EH based power system that can provide many years of service without need of battery maintenance.
