ADDITIONAL SENSORS

  • The system includes a connector for adding and integrating additional sensors on a daughter board.
  • The connector provides power to the sensors and enables communication with the microcontroller via hgh-speed I2C and SPI interfaces.

ENERGY TRANSDUCER

The system embeds an energy transducer with a boost converter to be used with harvesters having an open-circuit voltage (Voc) less than 3.0 V. For harvesters with an opencircuit voltage Voc greater than 3.0 V, the boost converter is optional. It is therefore recommended, whenever possible, to use transducers with an open-circuit voltage greater than 3.0V and an operating voltage of 2.5V to achieve greater energy efficiency and cost effectiveness. The minimum power that the energy transducer must provide is 30 μW.

Boost converter Embedded to be used with harvesters with Voc < 3.0V
Optional Boost converter for harversters with Voc > 3.0V
Recommended transducer open Voc_Min = 3.0V
Recommended operating voltage Vope = 2.5V
Minimum output power Pout = 30 μW
Efficiency greater energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness with Voc > 3.0V
