Energy harvester based on TI chip BQ25504, following typical application reference.
***SEE ATTACHED SPREADSHEET FOR CALCULATOR BQ25504_DESIGN_HELP_V1_2.xlsx ***
***RESISTORS ARE SET FOR SOMETHING AROUND 2.5V, BE WARNED!!***
***CHANGE RESISTOR VALUES FOR YOUR APP AND RTFM***
***BONUS POINTS FOR X5R CAPACITORS IF YOU NEED LOWEST LEAKAGE CURRENTS***

Update Sept 17-2024
- Tested boards today, GND plane is a bit of a pain without a preheater but it is manageable.
- Voltage setting came out to 2.58V
- Cold start function was interesting, worked a bit lower than datasheet spec
- Tested just with a blue LED in parallel with the power supply since mine is set to 2.6V or less it should be fine without a current limiting resistor for blue.
