Energy harvesting PMIC enables environmentally friendly energy-autonomous low-power devices
N
experia, the specialist in essential semiconductors, has expanded its range of Power ICs with energy harvesting solutions to simplify and enhance the performance of low-power internet of things (IoT) and other embedded applications. The NEH2000BY is a high- performance power management integrated circuit (PMIC) which recharges a battery or storage capacitor using energy harvested from ambient sources, such as light (which can be harvested using a photovoltaic cell). As a result, Nexperia’s NEH2000BY will enable the development of electronic devices that are self-powered, smaller, and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, this energy harvesting solution can help mitigate
the environmental impact of the billions of batteries produced and discarded each year. Nexperia says that its NEH2000BY PMIC makes it much easier to design energy harvesting solutions which can be up to 20x smaller than other competing offerings and do not require manual optimization for individual applications. In addition, the PMIC was designed without inductors, simplifying PCB design and signifi cantly reducing overall BOM and board size, with a 12 mm² assembly area. To achieve the highest conversion
effi ciency, energy harvesting solutions must be able to adapt as the ambient energy source fl uctuates. The NEH2000BY performs Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), an adaptive algorithm to optimize how it
transfers harvested energy and to achieve optimum average conversion effi ciency by up to 80 per cent. This MPPT algorithm combines speed with accuracy, allowing the PMIC to adapt to environmental changes in less than a second. This is signifi cantly faster than any other currently available solution, according to Nexperia, and maximizes the amount of energy harvested over the course of a day, vastly expanding the number of application areas. Furthermore, due to its self-optimization functionality and ability to operate autonomously without the requirement for pre-programming, the NEH2000BY makes it easier for designers to power devices with ambient energy. Nexperia’s energy harvesting solutions
enable economical energy harvesting from various ambient sources in applications consuming up to several milliwatts of power, including wireless IoT nodes, wearable smart tags, and electronic shelf labels.

DLINK Technology has launched the new ADLINK ASD+ Series of industrial SSDs with options available to cover the full spectrum of industrial applications where reliability and security are key. The embedded fl ash storage solutions are available in all standard form factors to bring the benefi ts of high transfer speeds, light weight, and low power consumption to mission-critical tasks in industrial applications. ASD+ storage solutions have write-intensive options for military and surveillance AI, and read-intensive options for gaming, medical, signage, and retail. Uninterrupted 24/7 operation in harsh
industrial environments necessitates hardware that can work continuously and maintain peak performance under high temperatures and taxing workloads. To provide industrial-grade stability for mission-critical tasks, ASD+ SSDs use the highest-quality chips from original IC vendors to ensure uninterrupted 24/7 operation and come with a three-year warranty. ASD+ comes in three temperature ranges: 0 to 70°C, -25 to 85°C, and -40 to 85°C, that cater to a range of use cases and provide different blends of performance and price to match application requirements and operating environment. ASD+ SSDs are also protected against heat damage with thermal protection

that throttles the operating speed when temperatures exceed specifi ed thresholds.
ASD+ SSDs offer Secure Erase and Crypto Erase features that protect the SSDs by providing a way to completely erase data from the disk and encode the data using a crypto key to make data unreadable without the key. Write Protection prevents accidentally overwriting data. ASD+ is FIPS-certifi ed and TCG-OPAL compliant.
Power loss protection further ensures data integrity, even with the sudden loss of power. Traditional SSDs are susceptible to
data corruption when power loss interrupts the writing of in-fl ight data, so ASD+ uses power capacitors that store enough power to complete the data fl ushing process, guaranteeing that no data is lost.
