2.2 Specific End Equipment

Asset trackers integrate numerous subsystems in a small space. Though the tracking modules can differ in style and features, they share similar digital interfacing challenges, such as reading in data from a variety of sensors or interfacing with a GPS module (Optimizing Asset Trackers With Logic and Translation Use Cases). The system is battery-powered, which requires higher power consumption and efficiency. Taking tracker as an example, this application note proposes a solution using solar panel as the power supply for the tracker and realize MPPT function with a single TPS61094. Figure 2-1 shows the typical system diagram.
