BOLT™ micro-power generator enables Texas Instruments EZ430 wireless sensor using Linear Technology LTC3588 power management IC.
MicroGen Systems, Inc. announced today that X-FAB MEMS Foundry (http://www.memsfoundry.de)
in Itzehoe, Germany has completed the process transfer of its
MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) based piezoelectric platform
process onto 200 mm silicon substrates in record time. MicroGen’s first
piezo-MEMS product-line is a vibration energy harvester or micro-power
generator (MPG) with 100 and 120 Hz, and custom resonant frequency
response. The MPG is a small (volume ~1.0 cm3 or less; on the order of
the size of a green pea) wafer-level packaged device. MicroGen’s MPGs
are low cost, long lifetime (estimated > 20 years) devices that
scavenge otherwise wasted ambient vibrational energy will replace or
extend the lifetime of batteries in wireless sensor (WS) and other
microelectronic applications. In addition, micro-power electronics
modules (MPMs) using the Linear Technology LTC3588-1 (http://www.linear.com/product/LTC3588-1)
energy harvesting power management integrated circuit (IC) will be
offered. MPMs will have output power ranging from 25 to 250 Watts at
3.3 Volts DC depending upon model/part number.
