Antenna power output is dependent on: Incident power density (here in μW/cm2) Load resistance

Optimal load resistance for peak power collection is mostly independent of incident power density

Desired Emulated Resistance: 1.2kΩ – 1.5kΩ Want to be on the right side of the curve

DC-DC Converter

Battery Charging

Operates in pulsed fixed frequency discontinuous conduction mode

Resistance seen by the input varies with the output voltage

Also operates in pulsed fixed frequency discontinuous conduction mode

Requires a floating input voltage source to allow non-inverted output

Choice of parameter settings based on: expected input power level desired emulated resistance

Expected input power: 50 μW – 200 μW Emulated resistance: 1.2kΩ – 1.5kΩ

Output Voltage between 3.3 and 2.6 V Input power independent of output

Battery Charging

Processor is able to switch to the backup battery by outputting the Batt_Backup signal

If battery backup is needed, Batt_Backup is set to high, and the input power source is changed to the backup battery

Battery Charging

As long as the output voltage from the buck-boost converter is above a set level, we want the battery to be charging

If the converter output drops below that set level, the battery stops charging

Using ISL88001 Ultra Low Power 3 Ld Voltage Supervisors Fixed-voltage options allow precise

monitoring of +1.8V, +2.5V, +3.0V, +3.3V and +5.0V power inputs

ORIGINAL

Sensor testing boards

Initial antenna design

First power supply boards done & testing begun

Development board learning

PROGRESS

Circuit diagrams complete

Revision in development by grad students

PCB created, but have since revised converter design

Various sample code run, basic setup code created

Milestone 1 Sensor boards physically constructed Final antenna design Power supply optimization

Milestone 2 Full sensor reading & data transmission Full PCB w/ all parts integrated Computer interface developed

Expo Documentation Final board revisions

Boost Converter Needs 2.2V to start switching Can use S-882Z charge pump to pre-charge

output capacitor to 2.2V Use a battery as storage element
