Nexperia invests in sustainable alternatives to batteries
Summary
Energy can be harvested from light, vibrations, radio waves or temperature gradients and can therefore be used to replace batteries in low-power applications like smart wearables and autonomous wireless sensor nodes. Nowi’s PMICs combine the smallest PCB footprint with the lowest BOM cost and the best average harvesting performance. “Nowi represents a strategically important investment because energy harvesting is the perfect complement to Nexperia’s existing power management capabilities,” says Dan Jensen, General Manager Business Group Analog & Logic ICs at Nexperia. “This decision means Nexperia can now offer customers a sustainable alternative to battery power for their products, that will be available in the market quickly. Our shared Dutch heritage will bring added synergy to future activities.
