MCRY-EVALKIT

Mercury Boost Converter Evaluation Kit

MATRIX Industries Mercury Boost Converter Evaluation Kit measures the performance of the Mercury energy harvesting PMIC. Mercury is a family of highly integrated DC/DC boost converters ideal for harvesting and managing surplus energy. The board allows adding an energy storage media to accommodate various applications. This Matrix Industries kit is optimized for low start-up voltage with an on-the-board 50:1 turns ratio transformer. Mercury features an 8-bit on-chip analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that detects when the open circuit voltage V_OC exceeds the programmed limit and turns off the input to ensure reliable operation. The outputs of the ADC are broken out on the board to allow real-time measurements. The evaluation kit is equipped with MCRY12-125Q-42DI, optimized for 12Ω input impedance, 12.5μH inductor, and 4.2V output.
