Ultra-Low Voltage
Energy Harvester and
Primary Battery Life Extender
The LT C
®
3107 is a highly integrated DC/DC converter de-
signed to extend the life
of a primary battery in low power
wireless systems by harvesting and managing surplus en-
ergy f
rom extremely lo
w input voltage sources such as TEGs
(Thermoelectric Generators) and thermopiles. The step-up
topology operates from input voltages as low as 20mV.
Using a small step-up transformer, the LTC3107
provides a complete power management solution for
typical wireless sensor applications that operate from a
primary battery. The 2.2V LDO can be used to power an
external microprocessor, while the main output voltage
automatically adapts to match the voltage of the primary
battery. The LTC3107 seamlessly transitions from battery
power to harvested power whenever harvested energy is
available, extending the life of the battery. The BAT_OFF
indicator can be used to track battery usage. An optional
storage capacitor accumulates excess harvested energy,
further extending battery life.
The LTC3107 is available in a small, thermally enhanced
10-lead (3mm × 3mm) DFN package.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC3107 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that T

. The LTC3107E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to 85°C
junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization
and correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3107I is
guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature
range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with
these specifications, is determined by specific operating conditions
in conjunction with board layout, the rated thermal package thermal
resistance and other environmental factors. The junction temperature (T

Note 3: Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 4: Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher than
43°C/W.
Note 5: The Absolute Maximum Rating is a DC rating. Under certain
conditions in the applications shown, the peak AC voltage on the C1 and
C2 pins may exceed their Absolute Maximum Rating. This behavior is
normal and acceptable because the current into the pin
is limited by the
impedance of the coupling capacitor.
