NXP IC in solar photovoltaic applications can achieve MPPT applications up to 98% of efficient energy extraction and low power MPT612 - NXP solutions for the use of photovoltaic cell and fuel cell

NXP semiconductors (NXP Semiconductors) today announced the launch of MPT612, it is only for the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) maximum power point tracking application of battery or fuel cell (MPPT) low power integrated circuit. MPT612 IC MPPT algorithm is used to patent pending, which can be widely used in distributed MPPT solar charge controller, and micro inverter applications, to achieve efficient energy extraction 98%. NXP MPT612 can be easily configured to use MPPT DC solar charging controller, such as portable devices and home applications and battery charger; railway traffic signal; streets, gardens and road lights. MPT612 is also very suitable for pumps and fans and other non storage electric motor. "Compared with the traditional PWM controller, the MPPT controller from the solar photovoltaic panels absorb additional energy up to 30%" NXP industrial application marketing senior director Jan Willem VogEL said: "we have expertise in high performance mixed signal technology development based on the MPPT algorithm and IC unique. The PV integrators can further improve the efficiency of solar cell and fuel cell, which has been validated by extensive long-term test. "NXP highly flexible MPT612 solution with low power, 32 bit ARM7TDMI-S processor, support multiple serial interfaces including I2C, UART, SPI and SSP,. MPT612 has the hardware functions required for photovoltaic applications, including voltage and current measurements, panel parameter configurations, and the ability to send output signals to control the external switch. In order to further simplify the development and improve the efficiency of the system, with the MPT612 file (object files) together, these object files including MPPT algorithm, NXP patent pending application specific software library and easy to use application interface function (API function). System configuration for the API can be set up Buck (Buck) or buck boost (buck-boost) topology algorithm, and even in the tropics when the summer photovoltaic MPP voltage is lower than the battery voltage can also start charging the battery. MPT612 provides maximum 15KB flash memory for applications, as well as three level flash code read protection (CRP) to ensure the safety of the code developed by the user. Flashmagic, IAR, Keil and other development tools support MPT612. NXP will also provide easy to use integrated development kit. Listing time MPT612 now can be ordered from the main dealer.
