Nexperia, a leading semiconductor company, has recently launched the Energy Balance Calculator. This innovative web-based tool is specifically designed to support battery management engineers in maximizing the battery life of their applications. By providing precise data for informed decision-making, the calculator facilitates the integration of Nexperia’s Energy Harvesting PMICs into various systems.
At the heart of the Energy Harvesting PMICs lies the MPPT algorithm, which enables efficient energy harvest from the environment for consumer electronics and IoT devices. To fully utilize the potential of these PMICs, the calculator considers real-world technical parameters and calculates the energy delivered to the load as well as the energy compensation. By doing so, it offers valuable insights into extending battery life and achieving energy autonomy. Additionally, engineers can assess system efficiency and precision through the tool’s supplied efficiency curve, allowing for visual representation.
Javed Ahmad, the senior director of Product Management for IC Solutions at Nexperia, expressed his pride in introducing the Energy Balance Calculator. He emphasized the company’s commitment to empowering engineers in enhancing system efficiency and combating battery waste. This powerful tool enables engineers to make informed decisions, ensuring the optimal utilization of energy harvesting solutions and extending the lifespan of electronic devices.
Moreover, this energy harvesting system opens up possibilities for engineers to redesign wireless IoT nodes, wearables, smart tags, and electronic shelf labels with a focus on environmental sustainability and economical energy harvesting. It supports applications with power consumption of up to several milliwatts, offering a more eco-friendly and cost-effective approach.
Nexperia’s Energy Balance Calculator not only provides valuable support to battery management engineers but also promotes a more efficient and sustainable future for electronic devices. By harnessing the potential of energy harvesting, engineers can make significant strides in reducing battery waste and maximizing the lifespan of their applications.
