charging of the battery with harvested energy while a low
battery disconnect function protects the battery from deep
discharge. The energy harvesting power supply, consisting
of an integrated full-wave bridge rectifier and a high voltage
buck DC/DC, harvests energy from piezoelectric, solar, or
magnetic sources. Either DC/DC converter can deliver en-
ergy to a single output. The buck operates when harvested
energy is available, reducing the quiescent current draw
on the battery to the 200nA required by the shunt charger,
thereby extending the life of the battery. The buck-boost

OUT
A supercapacitor balancer is also integrated, allowing for
increased energy storage. Voltage and current settings
for both inputs and outputs are programmable via pin-
strapped logic inputs. The LTC3331 is available in a 5mm
× 5mm QFN-32 package.
