E-PEAS’s Newest PMICs for Intermittent Enter Vitality Harvesting

e-Peas has just lately launched three new Energy Administration ICs (PMICs), AEM00300, AEM330, and AEM00940 for power harvesting programs. These ICs are optimized for intermittent and pulsed energy inputs. These chips are self-configurable with the power to robotically swap between buck, increase, and buck-boost operations. These new PMIC comes with selectable and adjustable storage factor safety mechanism making them appropriate for a variety of purposes corresponding to automation, IoT, and so forth.

AEM00300 is a storage factor charger whereas the AEM00330 is a full energy administration chip. The power to change between completely different modes permits them to effectively alter to completely different power sources and enhance the power switch capabilities of those units. Each PMICs have an working enter voltage vary between 140mV to 4.5V, subsequently, the ability ranges of 3µW to 570mW might be managed. Whereas the AEM00490 is a high-efficiency increase resolution that employs an LDO-based output in contrast to a DC/DC-based one in most different merchandise. It may possibly work at a decrease working voltage of 50mV in comparison with the storage factor charger IC.

All of the three PMICs are able to adapting to single and twin cell supercapacitors, Li-Ion, LiFePO4, Li-Po, NiCd, thin-film batteries, and solid-state batteries. These additionally characteristic adjustable and selectable storage factor safety mechanism which incorporates over-discharge and over-charge safety.

“Not all power harvesting can depend on longer-lasting outputs. There are lots of circumstances the place solely a brief burst shall be obtainable,” e-peas’ CMO Christian Ferrier states; “By growing options that may shortly react to such sources, we’re bringing one thing really distinctive to the market. Our new fixed voltage PMICs can seize power each time it’s current, addressing the wants of residence and constructing automation, and lots of new use circumstances”

AEM0030 and AEM00940 have a 5mm x 5mm QFN package deal whereas the AEM00300 is available in a smaller 4mm x 4mm QFN format. The corporate states that these ICs might be made obtainable in naked die format for larger order portions. The PMICs are appropriate for purposes corresponding to IoT, residence automation, good wearables, and so forth.
