Energy Harvesting in IoT
summary
Claims a NOWI energy‑harvesting PMIC that boosts tiny inputs starting at 40 millivolts to usable voltages with about 92% efficiency and shrinks required external parts so the harvester footprint is roughly 30× smaller. Demonstrations include road‑embedded temperature sensors, a 20,000‑sensor office deployment and a hybrid Swiss smartwatch that runs on ~10% dial‑transmitted light. Six patents are filed and prototypes show continuous operation in low‑lux office use.
