Tiny energy-harvesting tile for IoT sensors outputs over 1-mW

Technology News |

The partnership will combine Matrix’ expertise in thermoelectric material sciences and thermal engineering with and Torex expertise in low power consumption and energy efficient power management technologies to deliver a tile-shaped energy-harvesting platform, measuring about 100- x 100- x 25-mm and capable of an average power output in excess of 1-mW, with peak outputs up to 8-mW.

Matrix and Torex provide a complete off the shelf reference for Watt Smart Farming and Industrial IoT applications, based on Matrix’s PowerTile Thermo-Electric-Generator (TEG) tied with the company’s Mercury energy harvesting chip IC and power management solutions from Torex.

The companies anticipate such power tiles will enable battery-less IoT sensor solutions.
