Emerging Power Applications

Energy Harvesting

As new forms of alternative (off-grid)
energy are being developed, power-
management technologies are required
to harvest, store and regulate this power.
Energy from such sources as photovol-
taic panels, kinetic (vibration) MEMs and
thermoelectric elements (utilizing Peltier,
Thompson or Seebeck effects) presents
the challenge of converting ultra-low
levels of nano power to more usable
levels and storing the energy for later
use. TI continues to develop new power-
management ICs to meet these harvest-
ing challenges, including ultra-low-power
devices such as LDOs and high-
efficiency boost converters and battery
chargers. These power-management
devices complement TIs portfolio of
low-power MCUs and RF, amplifier and
sensor ICsproviding a total solution for
systems powered by new forms of ultra-
low-power alternative energy.

Wireless Power (bqTESLA)

TI is leading the new wireless-power
market with the very first Qi-compliant
devices. The 81+ members, including
TI, of the Wireless Power Consortium
are setting the international standard for
inter-operable wireless charging with the
Qi standard.
The bqTESLA chipset enables customers
to power their electronic devices up to grammed into the devices, so no software
5 W, meeting the Qi standard. The
transmitter and receiver solutions that
make up the bqTESLA chipset are ready
for mass production today.
The bqTESLA receiver family includes
the bq51013 and bq51011, which out-
put 5 V and provide closed-loop control
to the via-embedded communications
techniques. Software is already pro-
programming is required. The bqTESLA
transmitter family includes the bq500210
and bq500211, which operate and con-
trol the Qi-compliant wireless-power
functionality.
