1. Sol-Chip EVAL-101 (including Saturn100) The Sol Chip EVAL-101 allows for simple configuration of the Sol Chip Energy Harvester (Saturn100), with a pre-soldered Sol Chip Saturn100 Photovoltaic chip on board and additional soldering pads. Sol Chip Energy Harvester (Saturn100) is a unique Photo Voltaic (PV) cell which produces six selectable voltage levels: 0.75 volt, 1.5 volt, 2.25 volt, 3 volt, 4.5 volt, 9 volt. Each selectable voltage delivers different current. See Table 1 below. Saturn100 Product Specification VOC (1) : 0.75V, 1.5V, 2.25V, 3V, 4.5V, 9V ISC (2) at full daylight: 7 mamp Pmax at full daylight: 3 mwatt Pmax at office light (3) : up to 20 μwatt (1) See Table 1 (2) For the case of VOC=0.75v. See Table 1. (3) Depends on light conditions. The maximum power which can be extracted in full daylight is ~3 mwatt and in office lighting the power extracted is up to 20 μwatt, dependent on ambient lighting intensity. Additional voltage levels and also several voltage and power levels can be delivered simultaneously from separate pins of the device. Figure 1: Solar Chip Photo (Saturn100) 3 Sol Chip Ltd.

5.2 With System Primary Battery* Schotky Diode Storage Cap1 enables storing PV energy while the load is in-active. Load Supply Internal PV cell Storage Cap 1 System Battery Storage Cap 2 Figure 5: System schematic diagram: Example 2 with system primary battery Advantage: Dual Charge Storage: When Load current < PV current, the Storage Cap 1 is charged and enables charge buffering. This will increase the energy efficiency. Limitations: 1. Vbat defines Load voltage Vload tracks Vbat voltage drop 2. Vload = Vbat-0.7v 3. During light condition, Ibat is not 0 Ampere. PV supplies current Ipv to load & Storage Cap 2 @ Ibat = Ipv / beta * Primary Battery Any off the shelf available non-rechargeable battery. 7 Sol Chip Ltd.
