Exeger and e-peas create energy harvesting solutions for IoT devices.
Inside the Partnership
In 2022, Exeger and e-peas announced a partnership to jointly create energy harvesting solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) sector. As a result, they offer a compact energy harvesting boost converter module optimized for Powerfoyle-powered products. The collaboration aims to simplify the adoption of Powerfoyle for manufacturers and developers and eliminate the need for disposable batteries and the high costs of battery replacement.
“We are thrilled to add the Powerfoyle technology of Exeger to our vast energy harvesting ecosystem. Thanks to this long-run collaboration with Exeger, we bring to the market a compact, cost-efficient energy solution for replacing disposable batteries and making IoT products maintenance-free. The combination of both technologies demonstrates that the integration of energy harvesting brings significant technology advantages to customers and is the path forward for IoT growth.”
Christian Ferrier, Chief Marketing Officer at e-peas
The joint, innovative solution is a mini-stamp form factor evaluation kit, providing out-of-the-box best performance of the combined Powerfoyle and Ambient Energy Manager (PMIC). Developers also have the possibility to further tune the system thanks to I2C interface. It implements an Average Power Monitoring system (APM) allowing the application circuit to get a measure of harvested energy. An optional thermal management sensing is also available.
About e-peas
Founded in 2014, e-peas (short for Electronic Portable Energy Autonomous Systems) has a clear goal to develop cutting-edge solutions that help electronic devices work without battery limitations. As a fabless semiconductor company, e-peas creates energy-efficient technology that makes it easier to build reliable, low-maintenance devices like sensors that can run for years or even become fully energy-autonomous. Headquartered in Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium, and with additional offices in Switzerland and the USA, e-peas offers a range of energy-harvesting power management chips, microcontrollers, and sensor solutions.
