Energy Harvesting

Contributing to the realization of a system that does not use primary batteries

Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) contributes to the development of a primary-battery-free system through its original energy harvesting circuit technology.

The Energy Harvesting IC of Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) is ideal for gathering small amounts of ambient energy, such as indoor light and natural body heat.

It does not require replacement of batteries and contributes to miniaturization of IoT devices as well as wireless communication.

What makes AKM different ?

As sensors and IoT devices continue to become smaller and more energy-efficient, the expectation for environmental power generation, known as energy harvesting, is rapidly increasing. However, in actual use, challenges such as unstable power generation, long startup times, and battery degradation during long-term storage often arise.

For its ultra-low quiescent current, AKM's energy harvesting IC enables stable operation of IoT devices even at micro-watt levels of generation.
