The MPT612, the first dedicated IC for performing the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) function, is designed for use in applications that use solar photovoltaic (PV) cells or in fuel cells. To simplify development and maximize system efficiency, the MPT612 is supported by a patent-pending MPPT algorithm, an application-specific software library and easy-to-use application programming interfaces (APIs). Dedicated hardware functions for PV panels, including voltage and current measurement and panel parameter configuration, simplify design and speed development. The MPT612 is based on a low-power ARM7TDMI-S RISC processor that operates at up to 70 MHz and can achieve system efficiency ratings up to 98 %. It controls the external switching device through a signal derived from a patent-pending MPPT algorithm. The DC source can be connected to the IC through appropriate voltage and current sensors. The IC dynamically extracts the maximum power from the DC source, without user intervention. The IC can be configured for boundary conditions set in software.

圖1.MPT612方框圖 采用MPT612參考板的光伏MPPT電池充電控制器 Photovoltaic MPPT battery charge controller using the MPT612 IC reference board Dwindling fossil fuel resources and the adverse environmental effects arising from converting these resources into energy have placed increasing focus on the use of non-fossil fuel energy sources such as solar energy. Solar illumination can be converted into electrical energy through solar cells and the energy generated is called PhotoVoltaic (PV) energy. While the sun as a source is available for free, generating PV energy is expensive. This makes it important to extract the maximum PV energy from the incident sun light using the solar cells. Typical solar cells comprise a PN junction made of a semiconductor material such as silicon. Since the power from a single cell is too small to be of practical use, cells are connected in series-parallel fashion to realize higher power, voltage and current. These are called solar panels or modules. PV panels are rated in terms of peak-watt at standard test conditions (25 degree C, 1000 W/m2 power density and spectrum of AirMass 1.5). 太陽(yáng)能充電控制器 The PV power extracted can be used: • To directly power a DC load • To be converted to AC using an inverter to drive an AC load • To charge an energy storage device (battery, super capacitor etc.) enabling the power to be used on demand This application note focuses on charging batteries from a PV panel using an MPPT-enabled charge controller. Typically a charge controller performs the following basic functions: • Controls maximum power extraction from a panel by tracking the MPP and ensuring that the panel operates at MPP • Controls battery charging as defined in the battery charge cycle specification to improve usable battery life and protect it against reverse connection, over charging and deep discharging • Load protection against overloads and short-circuits • LED or LCD Status indications • Communication of system parameters to external systems using dedicated interfaces MPPT充電控制器參考設計 The MPPT charge controller reference design example introduces a small, low-power MPPT IC called the MPT612, the first of its kind, supported by a patent-pending MPPT algorithm, which delivers up to 98% efficiency, and can be configured for customer-specific tasks. In this example, the charge controller takes power from solar PV panel and charges the battery as per the battery charge cycle specification. It also enables the battery to supply power to the DC loads connected to the controller. Apart from this, a number of protection mechanisms, system status indications, configurability, and communication facilities are implemented. The demo board also consists of a JTAG/UART add-on board which can be used for debugging, configuration, and data logging.
