Actions has launched a Bluetooth voice remote control solution for battery-free light energy harvesting. According to officials, the solution can make full use of light energy resources in the environment without the need for external power sources or batteries.
According to reports, the battery-free light energy harvesting Bluetooth voice remote control solution based on the Actions Technology ATB1113 platform uses thin-film or amorphous silicon solar PV cells, which can recycle light energy in the environment and store it in supercapacitors, truly realizing battery-free operation. No artificial charging is required, and the use process is maintenance-free. At the same time, ATB1113’s ultra-low leakage power consumption of less than 100nA enables a battery-free solution, so that the whole machine is not afraid of long-term freight challenges. Using small-capacity capacitors below 50F can support a shelf life of more than 1 year, fully responding to overseas shipments. Shipping and inventory conundrums.
Introduction of Actions ATB1113 Battery-less Light Energy Harvesting Bluetooth Voice Remote Control Solution:
- Ultra-long standby time, 1/3 of the average power consumption of mainstream manufacturers
ATB1113 battery-free light energy harvesting Bluetooth voice remote control solution, excellent low power consumption, power consumption in standby mode is less than 100nA, Bluetooth LE maintains connection power consumption close to 15μA when TX Power is set at 6dBm, voice transmission < 3mA, per day The power consumption of the battery terminal is as low as 0.168 mAH@3V, which is far ahead of the industry level. After the whole machine is unpacked and used, it supports more than 1 week of full-featured use time and more than 50 days of standby time without any ambient light charging.
- Ultra-low standby power consumption 100nA, shelf life > 1 year
Based on the Actions ® ATB1113 Bluetooth LE wireless connection SoC chip platform, adhering to the Actions low-power design technology, the standby mode power consumption is less than 100nA. When using the recommended 50F supercapacitor energy storage, a shelf life of up to 1+ year can be achieved.
- Dynamic charging state detection and sleep control algorithm to realize USB-free power supply
The light energy recovery remote control will be affected by the user’s placement position in actual use. When the user places the remote control completely in a drawer without any light or in other 24-hour dark environments, the stored energy of ordinary solutions will be reduced due to standby. Slow drain, long time will lead to low power of the system. ATB1113 integrates an ultra-low power consumption analog comparator. While fully using the full capacity of the supercapacitor, it can effectively manage the working state of the energy recovery PMU without any peripheral circuits. In the power-saving state, the power consumption of the whole machine is controlled below 100nA.
- Can achieve ultra-thin design <7mm
Traditional remote controls use batteries as the energy source, and the capacity and type of batteries will affect the thickness of the remote control. In the reference design, using the recommended supercapacitor energy storage, the thickness of the remote controller can be as low as 7mm or less.
