The scenario
A piezoelectric transducer generates AC voltage under mechanical stress; this circuit rectifies, regulates, and stores that energy in a lithium-ion battery.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Use LTC3588 to regulate the harvested DC voltage before charging.
02
Include a bridge rectifier for AC-to-DC conversion from the piezo source.
03
Add decoupling capacitors and a resistive load for stable battery charging.
Reusable for low-power energy harvesting systems powering sensors or small electronics from vibrations.
