CBC-EVAL-09
EnerChip™ EP Universal Energy Harvester Eval Kit
Features
CBC-EVAL-09 is a universal energy harvesting (EH) evaluation kit that combines any one of multiple EH transducers
with the EnerChip
TM
EP CBC915-ACA Energy Processor and the EnerChip CBC51100 100uAh solid state battery
module that has two 50µAh EnerChip solid state batteries connected in parallel. The purpose of this evaluation
platform is to enable designers to quickly develop Energy Harvesting applications. The EVAL-09 ships with a solar
cell for initial evaluation kit testing. A photo of CBC-EVAL-09 board is shown in Figure 1.

System Description
There are several new technology advances on the EVAL-09: the ability to use any type of EH transducer, the
EnerChip Energy Processor that uses high energy efficiency Maximum Peak Power Tracking algorithms, and
EnerChip Solid State Batteries for energy storage when the EH transducer is inactive.
