E PEAS NEW BUCK BOOST ICS ENABLES HIGHLY EFFICIENT ENERGY HARVESTING FROM SOLAR VIBRATIONAL SOURCES

E-PEAS NEW BUCK-BOOST ICS ENABLES HIGHLY EFFICIENT ENERGY HARVESTING FROM SOLAR & VIBRATIONAL SOURCES

Expanding its portfolio of advanced power management ICs (PMICs) for energy harvesting applications, e-peas has announced two new devices capable of further pushing the performance envelope. The RF AEM30330, Vibration AEM30330 and solar AEM10330 PMICs both utilize a buck-boost architecture. This enables them to cover a greater range of input voltage levels (from 100mV right through to 4.5V), meaning that low and high power

Back up power manager can support two supercapacitors

Back-up power manager can support two supercapacitors

A complete supercapacitor back-up power management system for 2.9 to 5.5V supply rails is available from Analog Devices. The LTC4041 uses an on-chip bi-directional synchronous converter to provide high efficiency step-down supercapacitor charging. There is also high current, high efficiency boost back-up power. When external power is available, the device operates as a step-down battery

Using a supercapacitor for power management and energy storage with a small solar cell

In Part 1 of this series, we have reviewed solar cell performance, how to select and size the supercapacitor, requirements of supercapacitor charging circuits and charging IC characteristics. We will now use two case studies to illustrate these properties in detail. Case Study 1: Using a small solar cell indoors at low light, 100 lux,

Fire-free LED Matchstick Using a Tiny13 microcontroller

video Fire-free LED Matchstick I just completed a new project: a fire-free and fire-safe LED matchstick. To light this matchstick you strike it against a normal matchbox filled with neodymium magnets. The LED matchstick has an inductive sensor that detects the magnetic field as you strike the matchstick against the matchbox and it lights up
