 So we're here with the VIRT electronic, so right here, so hello to who are you? Hi, my name is Lauren Ferkel from VIRT electronics. I am developing engineering for energy harvesting devices and VIRT electronic is a manufacturer of passive components. Today we have here a bunch of different demo kits, one from analog device and silicon labs, which is demonstrate energy harvesting for vibration, solar and thermoelectric So where's the energy harvesting here? Well, we have here a thermoelectric generator where I can put my hand and just by my body temperature start to power a 50 megahertz processor just using my body temperature It's a very simple thermoelectric generator. Is it the ARM Cortex M0 something? ARM Cortex M3 with a 50 megahertz Which is so you can see now it's running on Celsius or I can switch for Coronheit as well. How long will last? Well, on the back side is a 100 microfarad capacitor bank and that was the reason why you need a little bit to charge up and This is there? Yeah, it's capacity ceramic capacity bank when it's empty, then it's running again on nothing But how long will last right now? Well, it depends on the refresh rate, right? Now it's a refresh rate of every 20 Milliseconds, so if I go down it can run for hours if I go hours just touching a little bit Yes, because it's grabbing something like already 20 milliwatts and 20 milliwatts is a lot because the processor himself in the deep-sip mode is just consuming 150 nano amp. This is the first generation the second generation using also ARM Cortex M3 core But he has built in a RF module where you can grab all this information with the Bluetooth dongle on the laptop and You can transmit all the data by wires So the processor himself the same die have also the RF module we have a ink display on it Well, you can see when I will switch on to can see what is happening There is first time it will start to boot and then it will tell you it will running on which chip right now It's running on the LTC 30T 30 Running on primary battery because it's no energy harvesting connected right now, but you can connect Solar panels or also term electric generators. Well, or just a very simple piezoelectric also like this whoa And now you can tell you here on the display you can see it changed to the piezoelectric because solar was not available the light may be from your Projector it will be also powering enough and the customer have the opportunity to use this Expansion kit it doesn't need to buy another chip or another processor It just put his own sense of whatever he on this expander kit This is a shield board we tell and just connect above him And then he can just disconnect the main power from the power supply and he can try his own development kit This is like the the Raspberry Pi connectors or something Are we know similar but this is not compatible with respite because his own protocol in his own own stuff to do like other Sensors or other things because you can do different Application here I have an application the Texas instrument chip and this is with indoor light It's an indoor solar light which is measuring also the light intensity measuring the air pressure the temperature the humidity And even is giving the information to the aim display like here how much current it's it's grabbing right now What is the power? What is the voltage? What is the temperature and you can see as soon you move your light more through? Right hand you will get much more energy on the Current here you can see now you are generating already 600 micro amps with your light And this is just a simple LED. Is this the viewer to solar panel? No from word. It's only just a passive company like which one the capacitor the inductors the small fair rides This is coming from with all the connectors the switch is coming from virtual electronic You can see this is a very very tiny small choke here, which is yes This is just for storage the energy Energy storage analog or what it's a tourist the energy for from the solar to make a DC-DC conversion And now I can show you something much more spectacular This is a completely DC-DC converter, which is containing the input capacitor output capacitor the inductor and the Controller himself. This is a complete dissolution on one very very tiny small package It does it does what did you say many things in one a DC DC converter a completely solution for converting like like five volt to three point three volt This is the smallest in the world. Yes the highest density the smallest right now in the world Are you the leader in this kind of technology? I will not say that we are the leader, but this is a development which is Quite very tiny and small and I don't see anybody else right now on the market. We have where would you put this? You know if you have like a smart watch and you don't have enough space inside or you make a small tiny sensor or You're doing electronic where space is very limited and you don't have Enough I would say space to make a DC-DC converter This is the right solution and can we power up to one amp right now It's a 600 milli amp on the market and the one amp will become to the electronic at latest It's right now in development or the ability test and here you have a whole bunch of There's some other solution with much much higher power We can go up to six amp even to 10 amp is a transformer solution as well with four kilo volt or 1.5 Kilo volt or just you can see different packages here a CIP package or BGA package or F and on this wall over there you're talking about all the energy harvesting Solutions that's going on correct with our solution You can make an electronic device which is running autonomously or you can use a Battery like a backup battery you can extend the lifetime even up to 15 years or even more What does I mean like is it a solar panel that lasts so long? What do you mean 15 years like if you have a backup battery, you know, you have a temperature sensor for indoor and with a solar indoor solar or with a Thermoelectric you can extend the lifetime of this backup battery So the backup backup battery will acting only when you have no slide or you have no temperature difference So you have a backup battery solution No, we are offering with a little device together kind of power management Then it we can we use for 15 years or longer backup battery Nice and down here you're talking about the developing kids This is the developing which you saw before This is some other energy harvesting all this containing for just for this new generation of names Glenner if you go to our website W minus W e-minus online.com slash Glenner G you can find all this application note even the Schematics and all this energy Glenner G clean like like collecting Glenner G. That's energy All right. So what do you think about the ID Tech X show? Well, I'm not first time here I'm actually I'm taking a sixth time here in ID Tech's and I'm very satisfied Like this show I always also in Santa Clara Exhibition and Berlin from the beginning on and so it's a good one It's a very specific for energy harvesting and all this printed electronics. So it's very nice
