e-peas, the supplier of energy harvesting PMICs, announces that its efficient power management technology is providing the foundation for numerous demonstrations of energy harvesting in stand-alone sensor applications on show at Sensors Converge (25–26 June 2024, Santa Clara, US).

e-peas, a specialist in energy harvesting power management technology, invites engineers to its booth at embedded world 2024 to see how easy it is to use e-peas PMICs to power wirelessly connected designs using harvested ambient energy.

e-peas, a pioneer in ultra-low power management for energy harvesting, has announced the closing of a new round of €17.5 million funding, led by Otium Capital.

At CES 2024, e-peas – the specialist supplier of energy harvesting ICs – has announced new members of its Ambient Energy Managers family optimised for Remote-Control Units (RCU) and Wireless Keyboard (KBD) design.

e-peas, the supplier of energy harvesting ICs, has launched its first PMIC that can handle simultaneous inputs from two independent harvested energy sources.

Addressing the need for streamlined power management solutions for energy harvesting hardware, e-peas has unveiled a new family of battery charger devices. While 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), the AEM10900, AEM10300 and AEM30300 are fully dedicated to the charging function.

Expanding its portfolio of advanced power management ICs (PMICs) for energy harvesting applications, e-peas has announced the availability of two new versatile buck-boost IC devices adding complementary features to previously released products.

Further progressing its goal of making battery-less technology more commonplace, e-peas has gained another win for its energy harvesting power management ICs (PMICs). These PMICs will now play a part in facilitating the development of devices using printed organic photocells produced by innovative Swedish manufacturer Epishine.

Sequans Communications and e-peas has announced the demonstration of a joint solution. This solution combines e-peas’ AEM energy harvesting IC with Sequans’ Monarch LTE-M/NB-IoT platform to provide a self-powered cellular IoT connectivity solution, in a very small footprint, that can operate indefinitely without batteries.

e-peas' AEM10941 power management IC (PMIC) has been designed into battery-less monitoring hardware from Dutch firm Xeelas. Covering a 50mV to 5V input voltage range and with an ultra-low power up (from just a 3µW input), the AEM10941 is optimised for photovoltaic-based energy harvesting deployments of this kind.

e-peas’ highly optimised power management ICs are set to feature in a large scale remote monitoring application that is being rolled out across New York. IoT solutions provider MCCI has incorporated the e-peas AEM10941, which specifically targets solar powered implementations, into a new environmental sensor module that it is about to start deploying. 

e-peas has cooperated with TCT in the energy harvesting sector. By bringing together TCT’s engineering expertise in ferromagnetic cores with e-peas’ AEMS series of ultra-low power PMICs, the two companies have been able to develop an innovative energy harvesting platform that is based on induction. This will have huge potential within building automation and smart-grid deployments.

Ossia, e-peas, and E Ink, have announced that they have successfully developed a wirelessly-powered Electronic Paper Display (EPD) prototype system that is entirely battery-free. This system can be successfully operated and wirelessly powered at-a-distance in a dynamic environment, without the need for any wires or batteries.

  Highlighting the huge application potential of the company’s advanced power management ICs (PMICs), e-peas has confirmed that its AEM10941 devices for photovoltaic energy harvesting are being incorporated into tracking equipment employed in Australian cattle ranches.

A new power management IC specifically optimised for energy harvesting from thermal sources in wireless sensors application has been introduced by e-peas. Supplied in a space-saving 28-pin QFN package, the AEM20940 is a highly advanced device based on proprietary technology that is capable of extracting available input current up to levels of 110mA.

  In order to gain greater traction for its game-changing energy management technology, e-peas has begun building a supply chain network to support it. The Belgian startup has announced the first three in what will be a series of distribution partnerships that it is currently establishing, with more announcements being made in the near future.

Belgium-based e-peas has announced the availability of its first IC, the AEM10940, which ensures higher levels of efficiency in energy harvesting applications. The AEM10940 utilises e-peas unique proprietary energy management technology in order to maximize the efficiency with which electronic hardware draws energy from the ambient environment.

e-peas has introduced the first in a series of innovative products with the objective of revolutionising power delivery in IoT applications, such as remote monitoring and building automation. The AEM10940 evaluation board showcases the company’s proprietary energy management technology - allowing engineers to experiment with the AEM10940 power IC platform and analyse its performance parameters in a controlled, laboratory-like environment.
