e-peas’ AEM10941 – is an integrated energy management circuit that extracts DC power from up to 7-cell solar panels to simultaneously store energy in a rechargeable element and supply the system with two independent regulated voltages.
It facilitates extended battery lifetime and ultimately eliminates the need for disposable batteries as energy storage elements in a large range of wireless applications such as industrial monitoring, geolocation, home automation, e-health monitoring and wireless sensor nodes. To find out more, check AEM10941 Datasheet.
It was chosen by RECOM for its competitive specifications, versatility of functions and ease of use.
RECOM energy harvesting module
The REH-3.31.8 module is a complete energy harvesting power supply, requiring just an energy source and a storage element. This frees up the design engineer’s valuable time to focus on more important decisions such as finding the optimal solar cell for the light conditions available, to fine-tune the resonant frequency of the vibrational generator or to experiment with the size of supercapacitor or Li-Ion battery needed to supply the load reliably 24/7.
To make this process even easier, RECOM also manufactures the REH-3.31.8-EVM-1 evaluation board with push-in wire connections for the energy source, storage element and the 3.3V and 1.8V output voltages. The evaluation board also contains pads for a CR2032 battery holder if an on-board back-up primary cell battery is needed.
With the REH-3.31.8-EVM-1, it is possible to configure all of the features of the REH-3.31.8 module such as selection of the type of the storage element (rechargeable battery or supercapacitor), set the backup battery switch-over threshold voltage and to independently enable either or both outputs. All input and output signals of the module are easily accessible for test prob.
