An Intra-Ocular Pressure Monitor (IOPM) device that is less than 1.5 mm has been designed for implanting in the eye of a glaucoma patient. Developed by researchers at the University of Michigan, the design uses a capacitive pressure sensor developed at the university, an integrated 0.07mm2 solar cell, a Cymbet EnerChip solid-state battery and other circuitry […]
Cymbet
Customizable Energy Harvesting Development Kit
Microchip and Cymbet have combined forces to offer what is being called the world’s first customizable energy harvesting development kit. The XLP Kit uses Microchip’s PIC24F16KA102 microcontroller with eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology and Cymbet’s EnerChip EH Eval-08 Energy Harvesting Board. The EH board converts solar to electrical energy and stores it in an EnerChip […]
