Cypress : evaluation kit enables solar power to drive IoT devices

Cypress have introduced a new evaluation kit for its energy harvesting PMIC Family.

The CYALKIT-E04 Evaluation Kit provides developers with a simple-to-use platform for creating battery-free systems or to extend battery life using solar power and can be used for evaluation of diverse power management functions used for wireless sensor nodes.

CYALKIT-E04 includes two independent boards to evaluate the ultra-low-power S6AE102A and S6AE103A PMICs that can use solar energy to charge a super capacitor, along with a sensor board to analyze magnetic door sensor or ambient light sensor operation. This kit includes a solar module, a coin battery, reference schematics, a BOM list and layout to streamline designs.

Cypress S6AE102A and S6AE103A Energy Harvesting PMIC devices operate with startup power of 1.2uW and consumption current as low as 280nA, maximizing the power available for the sensing, processing and communications functions of a target application.

The kit can be used with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless connectivity solutions from Cypress for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
