PRODUCTION DATA
The MPPT operation depends on the sampled value of the open circuit voltage and the input regulation follows the voltage stored on the CREF capacitor. This capacitor is sensitive to leakage since the holding period is around 16 seconds. As the capacitor voltage drops due to any leakage, the input regulation voltage also drops preventing proper operation from extraction the maximum power from the input source. Therefore, it is recommended that the capacitor be an X7R or COG low leakage capacitor.
