Atmosic Technologies, an innovator of ultra-low-power wireless platforms for the Internet of Things, and Nichicon Corporation, a leading electronic components supplier, have announced a strategic partnership to provide customers with an energy harvesting solution for small form factor IoT devices. Combining Nichicon?s Small Lithium Titanate Rechargeable Battery technology with Atmosic?s ATM33e series of wireless Bluetooth energy harvesting SoCs provides developers with a complete solution that is easy to integrate into wearables and other Bluetooth devices. One major advantage of Atmosic?s ATM33e is the SoC?s extremely low power consumption.

When the ATM33e is combined with SLB series devices, the solution offers extended battery operation in a very small form factor. Additionally, SLB series devices can connect directly to Atmosic?s SoC and be recharged from harvested energy sources without the need for a separate power management unit. This energy-efficient and highly integrated design reduces Bill-of-Materials cost and saves valuable space so developers can create compact designs.

SLB rechargeable batteries support a high number of charge and discharge cycles (~25K cycles), low-temperature operation, and superior power density when compared with typical rechargeable batteries. They can easily be charged from various energy harvesting sources, making them particularly well suited to consumer, commercial, and industrial IoT applications. Additionally, by utilizing Lithium Titanium Oxide, SLB devices have superior safety characteristics including the ability to resist combustion from punctures and other forms of damage.

In space constrained applications, the Atmosic ATM33e is available in an ultra-small chip-scale package. For traditional applications, the ATM33e is also available in 5x5mm and 7x7mm QFN packages. The ATM33e includes an integrated Arm® Cortex®-M33F microcontroller with up to 1536MB of non-volatile memory, and 128KB of RAM.
