Description
We are developing HarvestAll, a patent protected portfolio of energy management integrated circuits (EMICs) that will connect to energy harvesters to create micro energy harvesting systems. An industry term for such systems is autonomous micro energy sources (AMES). These are a must-have to deploying battery-free "self-sustaining" sensors. AMES are key to realising the forecasted trillion interconnected sensors within the Internet of Things (IoT), that would otherwise be restricted by the limitations of current energy solutions.
Along with energy harvesters and energy storage, the major component in AMES is an EMIC. The key technical challenges are that each type of energy-harvester has very different electrical characteristics and that the availability of ambient energy fluctuates over time. To provide reliable AMES operation and enable battery-free self-sustaining sensors, an EMIC is required that can effectively manage the energy from any harvester type. No such EMIC exists today.
