18. Application Example: Standalone Solar Application
Current solar charging technology is not efficient enough for many portable and
standalone applications.
• Solar energy is 1000x lower indoors (10mW/cm2 vs. 10µW/cm2)
• Legacy control circuitry has high active and standby power dissipation
• ZSPM4121 can supply more energy to the application or storage element than
competing solutions
