Dear Bartosz,
Thanks for your reply. that's right! the solar circuit need a voltage regulator. Indeed, I prefer the seiko's small package CMOS voltage regulator -- S-817 series. features: max. Vin = 10V Vout = 1.5V It would prevent from the battery overcharging problems, but it still cannot help for the power up reset. (situation when someone place it under a lamp but cannot power-up.) Any more suggestion? Do you talk about the low drop out voltage regulator or the DC-DC converter? I found this link but it seems not suitable for watch model. (bulky & draw large current) http://www.maxim-ic.com/appnotes....number/364 Watch don't expect to reset overlight Hence, I have tried the solar cell direct under the Sun at 3 separate-day, which have a I-op for ~4.8mA. And the final watch product have a plastic mask which block 2/3 intensity. The I-op become 1.88mA after I place the plastic mask. In a cloudy day, the I-op = 0.7~0.8mA (with plastic cap) |
