Hi everyone.
My name is Leandro, I work as a programmer in Brazil and I'm learning electronics in my spare time.
As a derived prototype project from another one I'm working on, I want to use a small Peltier plate together with a small solar cell, so the combined harvested power could power up a low power circuit and charge a battery with the surplus.
I'm thinking about using the following ICs:
https://www.analog.com/en/products/ltc3109.html - For the peltier plate
https://www.analog.com/en/products/adp5092.html - For the solar cell
However, since both ICs can charge a battery, how can I "link" the two? Can both ICs be connected to the same battery at the same time?
Also, about the VOUT / REGOUT of the ICs, assuming the same voltage, can both be connected to the load at the same time?
Any help or alternative solutions would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards.
