DESCRIPTION
The bq25504 is the first of a new family of intelligent integrated energy harvesting Nano-Power management
solutions that are well suited for meeting the special needs of ultra low power applications. The product is
specifically designed to efficiently acquire and manage the microwatts (µW) to miliwatts (mW) of power
generated from a variety of DC sources like photovoltaic (solar) or thermal electric generators. The bq25504 is
the first device of its kind to implement a highly efficient boost converter/charger targeted toward products and
systems, such as wireless sensor networks (WSN) which have stringent power and operational demands. The
design of the bq25504 starts with a DCDC boost converter/charger that requires only microwatts of power to
begin operating.
