Frequently asked questions

What is the switching frequency of the SPV1020?

The switching frequency is internally generated and set by default at 100 kHz, but is externally adjustable from 50 kHz to 200 kHz.

Does the SPV1020 require external capacitors?

No, the 4-phase interleaved topology obviates the need to use electrolytic capacitors.

What is the purpose of the MPPT algorithm?

The embedded logic performs the MPPT algorithm on the PV cells to maximize power generation independent of temperature and solar radiation.
