Recently, Nexperia announced the launch of an energy balance calculator. This is a powerful networking tool designed to help battery management engineers maximize the battery life of their applications or achieve battery free applications. This calculator provides engineers with precise data to help them make informed decisions in order to integrate Nexperia's energy harvesting PMIC into their system.
The core of Nexperia Energy harvesting PMIC is the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm, which can help various consumer electronics and IoT devices efficiently collect energy from the environment. To fully utilize the potential of these PMICs, calculators use actual technical parameters. It calculates the energy transmitted to the load and energy compensation. Therefore, it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of potential battery life extension or energy autonomy. Engineers can also visualize system efficiency and accuracy through the efficiency curve provided by this tool.
Javed Ahmad, Senior Director of Product Management for Nexperia IC Solutions, stated:
We are proud to launch the Energy Balance Calculator, emphasizing our commitment to helping engineers improve system efficiency and reduce battery waste. This tool enables engineers to make informed decisions, ensuring that our energy harvesting solutions are fully utilized and extending the lifespan of electronic devices.
Nexperia's energy harvesting solution system engineers are reconsidering the design of wireless IoT nodes, wearable devices, smart tags, and electronic shelf tags to collect more environmentally friendly and economical energy from various environmental sources in applications with power consumption of up to a few milliwatts.
