Nanopower, TDK team on indoor IoT detector with solid state battery
Nanopower in Sweden has teamed up with TDK on a wireless indoor IoT sensor demonstrator with a solid state battery.
The wireless demonstrator combines the Nanopower nPZero power management IC 9PMIC) with the TDK indoor PV cell and CeraCharge rechargeable solid-state SMD batteries, and nPZero power-saving IC
The Bluetooth Low Energy design can typically be used for the detection of temperature and movement inside windows. The system is designed to install and forget, using the energy harvesting from ambient light stored in ceramic batteries.
The nPZero power-saving IC manages the harvested energy and monitors the sensors while draining a few nanoamps. This uses a sub-threshold design for a power management hub for any system’s wireless chip, processor, sensors, and other peripherals. This manages microcontrollers, sensors, and radios, bringing them back online only when needed. All critical functions of the IoT device remain intact while adding low-power capabilities.
- Surface-mountable rechargeable solid state batteries
- Epishine adds Nanopower to power indoor solar cell
The CeraCharge solid state battery provides energy storage for safe power supplies alongside film solar cells for indoor photovoltaic power.
There is also a LIS2DW12 low power 3 axis accelerometer from ST Microelectronics and the AS6212 temperature sensor and TSL2540 ambient light sensor from ams.
