Spansion helps create a green Internet of Things with a battery-free solution

Beijing, China, June 12, 2014 – Spansion, Inc. (NYSE: CODE) , a global leader in embedded market flash memory solutions, today announced the launch of a new energy harvesting power management integrated circuit (PMIC) family. The range of products for wearable electronic devices to wireless sensor network nodes and other IoT devices can eliminate the need for batteries or extend battery life to create a more environmentally friendly Internet of Things.

Energy harvesting refers to the process of capturing and storing energy from surrounding environmental resources such as light energy, kinetic energy, and temperature changes, and converting it into electrical energy to replace or supplement battery power. The cost of battery maintenance is high, and the battery itself is difficult to replace, is not reliable, and is harmful to children 1 and produces greenhouse gases. The natural resources brought about by light energy, kinetic energy and temperature changes are inexhaustible. As green energy, these resources can be collected and applied to embedded applications to provide all the power needed by the system or extend the battery. Life time.

Tom Sparkman, Senior Vice President of Spansion Simulation, said: "Spansion has long been committed to environmental protection. With our policies, processes and results to reduce resource waste, Spansion has been used by customers around the world. Government and industry regulators are officially recognized as environmental partners. Our customers can differentiate themselves from the batteries in their next-generation electronics by combining our low-power MCUs with energy budget calculations in the Spansion Easy DesignSimTM online design tool. Spansion's Energy Harvesting PMIC provides our customers with a variety of differentiated solutions to help them provide more environmentally friendly equipment for a wide range of applications."

Spansion's energy harvesting family includes the MB39C811, an ultra-low-power, dual-input buck converter 2PMIC for efficient light and kinetic energy acquisition; the MB39C831, an ultra-low voltage boost converter for Collect light or heat. Spansion's energy harvesting series seamlessly integrates with Spansion's FM0+ microcontrollers (MCUs) and ultra-low-power microcontrollers (based on the ARM Cortex-M0+ core) for industrial range and cost-sensitive and requires low power consumption Applications.

Spansion Easy DesignSimTM is a comprehensive online design tool with an industry-unique energy budget calculator. It simplifies design by calculating energy budgets and provides a bill of materials (BOM) that can be purchased online.

Helping the industry

Spansion has a strong, global ecosystem of energy harvesting and storage partner ecosystems. Atsushi Hitomi, head of EDLC at TDK, said: "Spansion's energy harvesting PMIC will have a positive impact on the IoT market. These PMICs capture natural energy that allows wireless sensor terminals/nodes to operate without batteries. By using Spansion's The solution is combined with TDK's EDLC, amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells and RF modules, and our wireless sensors enable networking anywhere and accelerate cloud services."
