Cymbet Launches EnerChip EP Universal Energy Harvesting Evaluation Kit
NUREMBERG, Germany - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Cymbet Corporation today announced the global availability of its
EnerChip EP CBC-EVAL-09 Universal Energy Harvesting evaluation kit at
the Embedded World 2011 show, taking place March 1-3, at the Exhibition
Centre Nuremberg. The EVAL-09 is the first kit to support all types of
ambient energy harvesting from light and vibration, to thermal gradients
and flow/motion. The kit features the award winning EnerChip Energy
Processor (EP) CBC915-ACA, a universal energy harvesting power
management unit for ultra-low power energy systems. The EnerChip EP is
the first device to work universally across all energy harvesting
transducer technologies including photovoltaic, thermoelectric,
piezoelectric and electromagnetic. EnerChip EP specifications can be
found at http://www.cymbet.com/content/products-enerchip-eh.asp.
The EVAL-09 Kit is available now through Cymbet's distributors Avnet,
DigiKey and Mouser.
Kit Features Eco-friendly Solid State Batteries
To store harvested energy, the EVAL-09 uses EnerChip solid state
batteries (SSB). EnerChip SSBs have many unique eco-friendly attributes
including the ability to be recharged 1,000s of times to last the
lifetime of the product - there are no batteries to change out.
Moreover, EnerChip SSBs contain no flammable solvents or dangerous
chemicals/gasses that can leak. They're completely non-combustible and
do not require any special disposal process (unlike traditional
batteries). Additionally, EnerChips use surface mount technology with
reflow solder, eliminating the need for cumbersome battery holders.
Creating Zero Power Devices
"The EVAL-09 was created in response to our customers' desire to build
zero power-based devices," said Jeff Sather Cymbet VP Customer
Solutions, "We are working closely with electronics designers to create
new products that self-power by harvesting ambient energy. These
devices, such as autonomous wireless sensors, data loggers, smart
patches, micro actuators and process controls, are all "off the grid"
using life-of-product EnerChip energy storage."
Visit Cymbet at Booth 12-269 for Energy Harvesting Demonstrations
The Cymbet EnerChip Energy Processor gives designers the ability to
create "Energy Aware" solutions. By providing optimal operation of all
power chain facets - power collection, power conversion, energy storage,
and power management - the EnerChip EP enables a new class of energy
harvesting-based systems that address rapidly growing markets. At booth
12-269, Cymbet will be demonstrating ambient energy harvesting-based
wireless sensor nodes using solar, piezoelectric, thermoelectric and
electromagnetic transducers.
