Description
The CBC-PV-01 photovoltaic cell is a low voltage
amorphous silicon solar cell on a glass substrate.
Typical operating voltage is 0.8V with an output
current of approximately 200µA at 200Lux in
fluorescent light. The CBC-PV-01 is used in low power
systems including wireless sensors and sensor
networks.
The CBC-PV-01 is compatible with Cymbet’s energy
harvesting products including the CBC915 Energy
Processor, CBC-EVAL-09 development kit and
EnerChip solid state rechargeable storage devices.
The CBC-PV-01 operating characteristics are given in
detail in the following table.
