Cymbet Releases Solid-State, Rechargeable Energy Devices

By DE Editors

Cymbet EnerChip rechargeable solid-state energy devices are designed for energy storage and power management. Packaged as a surface mount technology (SMT) component, the EnerChip provides energy storage in a small form factor. Cymbet’s EnerChip family is suited for applications where battery backup power is needed to maintain the settings of microcontroller memories, real-time-clocks and SRAM during power loss or power failures. EnerChip devices can provide back-up power ranging from a few hours to several weeks depending on the stand-by current requirements of the system.

There are six standard devices in the EnerChip product line:

• EnerChip CBC012-D5C: is a 12uAh rechargeable solid-state energy device packaged in a 6-pin DFN package.
• EnerChip CC CBC3112-D7C: is a 12uAh rechargeable solid-state energy device with integrated power management packaged in a 20-pin DFN package.
• EnerChip CBC012-BDC: is a 12uAh rechargeable solid-state energy device bare die to be co-packaged with other integrated circuits in a single package or multi-chip module.
• EnerChip CBC050-M8C: is a 50uAh rechargeable solid-state energy device packaged in a 16-pin QFN package.
• EnerChip CC CBC3150-D9C: is a 50uAh rechargeable solid-state energy device with integrated power management packaged in a 20-pin DFN package.
• EnerChip CBC50-BDC: is a 50uAh rechargeable solid-state energy device bare die to be co-packaged with other integrated circuits in a single package or multi-chip module.

When coupled with energy harvesting techniques, these devices can provide the energy storage to build self-contained, long-lived powered systems that have minimal negative environmental impact, according to the company. As a solid-state device, the EnerChip is RoHS compliant and the company says it contains no hazardous materials, flammable solvents or liquids that can harm the user or the environment.
