Abstract
A power management device includes a converter, a sampling circuit, an MPPT management circuit, and an MPPT control circuit. The converter converts a voltage across an output node of an energy source, based on a first control signal to output a final output voltage; The sampling circuit includes a sampling node measures a sampling voltage related to an open circuit voltage of the energy source, based on a second control signal. The MPPT management circuit generates the first control signal, based on the second control signal, the sampling voltage, and the voltage across the output node of the energy source. The MPPT control circuit controls a voltage level of the sampling voltage to be changed within a first threshold voltage range by applying a current to the sampling node, based on the second control signal and the sampling voltage.
