As wearable, medical and smart sensor products use streamlined power management for energy harvesting hardware, e-peas has developed a family of battery charger devices, dedicated to charging. The company’s existing power management ICs (PMICs) offer direct power delivery to the application, as well as the charging of energy storage elements (such as Li-Ion batteries or super capacitors), but the AEM10900, AEM10300 and AEM30300 are fully dedicated to the charging function. This allows them to be used where a simpler implementation can be used and where there are space or cost constraints.

NuCurrent cuts loose by extending HF wireless charging
For product categories that are using RF and inductive charging, NuCurrent has launched NuEva (high frequency) HF development platform based on inductive resonant power transfer.
InnovationLab and Evonik partner for printed rechargeable batteries
Printed electronics specialist, InnovationLab has partnered with chemical company, Evoknik to develop the fully printed, flexible, rechargeable, solid-state batteries. The batteries, which combine Evonik’s TAeTTOOz printable battery materials and InnovationLab’s high-speed printed electronics capability results in thin printed batteries that are more flexible, safer and more environmentally friendly than traditional metal-based batteries.
