Power management IC boosts energy harvesting

E-PEAS AEM10940 power management IC utilizes firm’s proprietary energy management technology, maximizing the efficiency with which electronic hardware draws energy from the ambient environment. The highly integrated device comprises an ultra-low power boost converter (exhibiting industry-leading 94% efficiency levels), along with voltage reference, energy management and LDO regulator elements. Leveraging its cold-start circuitry, device can be brought into active operation even when there is minimal energy left – an input voltage of just 380mV and a mere 11µW of power proving to be more than sufficient. http://www.e-peas.com
