Authorised distributor Mouser Electronics is now stocking the AEM10920 ultra-efficient energy-harvesting power-management IC (PMIC) from e-peas.
This PMIC extracts DC power from the harvesting source, stores it in a rechargeable battery, and supplies the application circuit.
It features a buck regulator with an efficiency of over 90%, a selectable output voltage (2.2, 2.5, or 2.8V), and an output current of up to 135mA.
An external 5V charging capability, which helps extend battery lifetime and eliminates the need for primary energy storage in many applications.
This device supports maximum power point tracking and an ultra-low power boost converter, enabling the harvesting of maximum available power from a source to charge a storage element.
The AEM10920 energy manager is available in a QFN 24-pin package and is ideal for remote controls, wireless keyboards, and remote sensors.
