Powercast shrinks Powerharvester wireless power receiver
Powercast has produced a smaller Powerharvester wireless power receiver and RF-to-DC converter chip (the PCC114) for its Powerharvester chipset. The chipset is comprised of a wireless power receiver chip and complementary boost converter IC and is embedded in a device to harvest RF energy.
3V prismatic supercapacitors support coin cells and saves BoM
Peak power support to 3V coin cell batteries is provided by the 3V thin prismatic supercapacitors announced by Cap-XX. They also save on bill of materials (BoM) costs as they eliminate the need for a 2.7V low dropout (LDO) regulator for less expensive, smaller, more energy-efficient designs with extended battery life, says the company.
Low dropout voltage regulator packs performance into small footprint
Trade-offs between quiescent current, output power, dynamic response, and package size are relieved, says STMicroelectronics at the launch of its STLQ020 low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator.
