Dear all,
I am looking for a solar harvester IC, similar to the Maxim MAX20361 but ideally with higher output current.
I would be very thankful for a tip on this.
The IC should have the following characteristics, or at least come as close to them as possible:
Compatible to a solar film with the following properties
Imp: 0,17 A
Vmp: 4.8 V (nominal)
Consisting of 11 cells
Compatible with supercaps
Required output:
either 3.3 or 5 volts
at least 800 mA, the more the better
At the output, besides a microcontroller, a small push solenoid will be powered, which has to be activated only once every few hours or even days.
The relatively high output current is important because of the solenoid. I would choose the solenoid according to the output of the IC (800 mA or more). If you can recommend a suitable solenoid, I would be very grateful. The diameter of the solenoid should not exceed 16 mm.
I would be very thankful for a product/part suggestion.
My best,
Sonny
