Power Management ICs Simplify Integration of Supercapacitors in Energy Microharvesting Designs

Power Management ICs Simplify Integration of Supercapacitors in Energy Microharvesting Designs:

Stephen Evanczuk writes:
Energy-microharvesting applications such as wireless sensor nodes require periodic bursts of power well beyond that available in steady state from most ambient sources. In this respect, supercapacitors offer performance characteristics that are well suited for energy-harvesting environments. By combining supercapacitors with appropriate power and charge management circuitry, and using specialized devices from manufacturers including Linear Technology, Maxim Integrated Products, and Texas Instruments, engineers can exploit microharvesting techniques in applications with demanding peak power requirements.
