The LT C
®
3109 is a highly integrated DC/DC converter ideal
for harvesting surplus energy from extremely low input
voltage sources such as TEGs (thermoelectric genera
-
tors) and thermopiles. Its unique, proprietary autopolarity
topology* allows it to operate from input voltages as low
as 30mV, regardless of polarity.
Using two compact step-up transformers and external
energy storage elements, the LTC3109 provides a com
-
plete power management solution for wireless sensing
and data acquisition. The 2.2V LDO can power an external
microprocessor, while the main output can be programmed
to one of four fixed voltages. The power good indicator
signals that the main output is within regulation. A second
output can be enabled by the host. A storage capacitor (or
battery) can also be charged to provide power when the
input voltage source is unavailable. Extremely low quies
-
cent current and high efficiency maximizes the harvested
energy available for the application.
The LTC3109 is available in a small, thermally enhanced
20-lead (4mm × 4mm) QFN package and a 20-lead SSOP
package.

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
LTC3109I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with
