RSL10-SOLARSENS-GEVK

RSL10-SOLARSENS-GEVK is a RSL10 solar cell multi-sensor platform. This is a comprehensive development platform for battery−free IoT applications for smart building, smart home, and Industry 4.0 verticals. Based on the industry’s lowest power Bluetooth® Low Energy radio (RSL10), the board features sensors for environmental and motion sensing (BMA400-a smart 3-axis accelerometer, BME280- a smart environmental sensor, and the NCT203 wide-range digital temperature sensor). The board also features a low weight, low profile 47µF storage capacitor of; a programming and debug interface; and a connected solar cell. Since the device harvests energy from a low current source, it is important to minimizes leakage of the overall system during operation and standby. Along with other energy efficient devices, an ultra−low quiescent current LDO (NCP170) on the board significantly minimizes leakage.

• Board is powered by a solar cell, default solar cell used is Panasonic Amorton AM-1522
• Typical operating voltage of 3V
• Circuitry is protected by a clamp at 3V and the operating domain is 1.6V to 2.65V
