The NEH7110 from Nexperia is a Power Management IC for energy harvesting solutions in low-power applications. It requires an input voltage of 2-5.5 V. This power management IC (PMIC) incorporates auxiliary features such as storage element protection, USB charging and an LDO/load switch. It is designed to harvest energy from light (from a wide range of indoor and outdoor PV cells), kinetic (movement, vibrations), thermal variation and electromagnetic sources with the help of external auxiliary components. This PMIC gathers energy from rechargeable batteries or supercapacitors to charge a storage element. It can harvest power in the range of 15 µW to 50 mW. This PMIC boasts an ultra-fast MPPT interval and allows USB charging. It includes LDO with configurable output voltage and allows for output voltage configuration via hard coding.
This PMIC includes a cold start feature that supports "battery-less" designs. It is designed to support various energy storage solutions, including batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid capacitors. This PMIC is available in a surface mount package that measures 4 x 4 mm and is ideal for smart remote controls for TV, gaming, AV control, key-fob, wireless PC devices such as keyboard, mouse, headphones, industrial sensors, tire pressure sensors and wearable device applications.
