Bolton Technical LTC-3588 Breakout Module
The Bolton Technical LTC-3588 is an energy harvester breakout module built around the LTC3588-1 chip. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy for low-power applications. The compact form factor allows straightforward integration into prototypes or embedded designs.
Developers harvesting vibration or motion energy
Engineers building battery-free sensors or wearables can use this module to capture ambient mechanical energy. The high-efficiency conversion and reliable operation support consistent long-term performance. Projects requiring a regulated high-voltage output or integrated storage management will need additional circuitry not provided here.
LTC3588-1 energy harvesting chip
The onboard LTC3588-1 component handles the core AC-to-DC rectification and high-efficiency buck regulation. Its piezoelectric-compatible input interface accepts raw transducer signals directly. This specific integrated circuit determines the input voltage range, output current capability and cold-start behaviour for the whole module.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the LTC-3588 energy harvester is producing usable voltage after connecting a vibration source?
Measure the output pins with a multimeter while the piezo element is active; a steady DC level indicates the LTC3588-1 is harvesting correctly.
Does the Bolton Technical breakout include the piezoelectric transducer and storage capacitor, or must I source them separately?
The board provides the LTC3588-1 IC and breakout pads only; you must supply your own piezo element and output capacitor.
Should I choose the 3588 module for low-frequency vibration or for high-frequency shock harvesting?
The LTC-3588-1 handles a broad vibration range; select it when you need a single IC that manages both low-level continuous and intermittent high-energy inputs.
