Abstract
Provided is a maximum power extraction devices including: a battery; a voltage control unit adjusting a size of a first power outputted from the battery according to a resistor selected from a plurality of resistors, and generating a compare signal according to a size difference between an operating voltage adjusting the size of the first power depending on the selected resistor and a reference voltage; a switching unit connected between the battery and a load and adjusting a size of the operating voltage according to a size difference of the compare signal in response to first and second switching control signals; a switching control unit generating the first and second switching control signals to allow a size between the operating voltage according to the compare signal and the reference voltage to be within an error range; and a maximum power control unit measuring the number of first operations obtained by counting the occurrence number of the first or second switching control signals for a predetermined time, when the compare signal is within the error range.
