Module targets solar-energy-harvesting apps

The EnerChip EH CBC5300 energy-harvesting module is used with small photovoltaic cells to power devices using ambient solar energy harvesting. The module provides energy conversion, energy storage, and power management in a single package, using energy conversion techniques and energy-aware functions.

The energy-harvesting module comes in a standard 24-pin DIP package and uses two EnerChip CBC050 solid-state energy chips to provide 100 µAh of power. It enables designers to create zero-power devices such as smart-building wireless sensors, active RFID tags, patient status devices, and equipment dataloggers that are more environmentally friendly. (CBC5300 + CBC eval-08 kit, $149 each available now.)
