Overview

PowerFilm, e-peas and CAP-XX have collaborated on this webinar to help interested design engineers and IoT professionals understand the components of a solar energy harvesting solution using PMICs and supercapacitors to provide a range of power options for IoT devices. While batteries are a simple solution for IoT devices they can be bulky, quick to drain depending on device functionality, and expensive to maintain and replace.

This webinar will provide design guidelines and common use cases for implementing IOT edge device power solutions using these three components. Each presenter will share specifics on their component capabilities with a combined Q&A session to finish the presentation.

PowerFilm designs, manufactures and delivers custom solar energy harvesting solutions specific to each customer’s use case and requirements. They offer solutions across many IoT segments, including retail, agriculture, telematics and industrial automation.

e-peas is a leader in PMIC solutions for energy harvesting based power supply thanks to it Ambient Energy Management product family.

CAP-XX is a world leader in the design and manufacture of ultra-thin, prismatic and cylindrical supercaps. Supercaps are an excellent alternative to batteries in many electronics applications. Supercaps are extremely charge efficient, making charging from micro energy harvesting technologies like solar very efficient, offer 10+ years life or 1,000,000 charge discharge cycles, and can operate effectively in -40° C to +85° C environments.
