Battery-powered systems are limited by finite energy capacity, frequent costly replacements, and environmental impact from battery disposal. If no lifespan advancements are made, approximately 78 million batteries powering IoT devices will be discarded globally every day. As the demand for smaller, more power efficient electronics continues to rise, these limitations are becoming increasingly challenging to overcome.
Energy harvesting technology presents a sustainable solution by capturing ambient energy from sources such as light, heat, and motion - powering low-power devices without the need for traditional battery swaps. This session delves into how energy harvesting extends battery lifespan, simplifies system design, and enables more efficient, sustainable power solutions for IoT, wearables, and other low-power applications. Discover how Nexperia’s innovative chip design innovations are addressing these challenges and enabling a new generation of energy-efficient, maintenance-free devices.
