DEMO MANUAL DC2048A

connection to a Dust mote (Dc9003a-B)

Remove the battery from the BH1 holder on the bottom 

side of the DC2048A. Attach a Dust mote to J1 of the 

DC2048A, refer to Figure 4 for the proper setup. J1 is a 

keyed connector and is connected to the left side of the 

P1 connector on the Dust mote. Figure 12 is a schematic 

of the Dust mote and the DC2048A interconnections plus 

three extra connections which; 1) connect the SCAP to 

V

OUT

, 2) connect BAL to the middle of the supercapacitors 

and 3) connect EH_ON to OUT2. The DC2048A contains 

NC7SZ58P6X universal configurable 2-input logic gates 

that  are  input  voltage  tolerant  and  allow  level  shifting 

between the LTC3330 and the Dust mote.
On the DC2048A set JP1 to 0, JP2 to 0, JP3 to 1, JP4 to 

0, JP5 to 1, JP6 to 0, JP7 to 0, JP8, JP9 and JP10 to 0, 

JP11 to OFF. 

Piezoelectric Transducer Evaluation

Mount  a  series  connected  MIDE  V25W  to  a  vibration 

source  and  connect  the  electrical  connections  to  the 

AC1  and  AC2  turrets.  Activate  the  vibration  source  to 

an acceleration of 1G and a frequency of 60Hz. Figure 5 

shows an open circuit voltage of 10.6V for the Mide V25W 

piezoelectric device that was tuned to 60Hz. In order to 

set  the  VIN_UVLO_RISING  and  VIN_UVLO_FALLING 

thresholds, the open circuit voltage of the piezoelectric 

device must be measured. The internal bridge network of 

the LTC3330 will have approximately 800mV drop at an 

input current of 300µA.
The peak power load voltage of a purely resistive source 

is at one half (½) of the rectified no load voltage. In this 

case, the optimal average input voltage regulation level 

would be 4.9V. Using a VIN_UVLO_RISING threshold of 

6V and a VIN_UVLO_FALLING threshold of 5V (UV3 = 0, 

UV2 = 0, UV1 = 1, UV0 = 0) yields an average input voltage 

close to the theoretical optimal voltage.
