Easy-to-use platform for the development of a solar-powered IoT applications

Mouser now stocks the Cypress S6SAE101A Solar-Powered IoT device kit which provides an easy-to-use platform for the development of a solar-powered IoT device with BLE wireless connectivity. The kit includes the S6AE101A energy-harvesting power management IC (PMIC) device which consumes just 250nA making it ideal for solar- or light-powered energy-harvesting systems (EHS). The S6AE101A also supports a hybrid EHS that uses a solar cell energy-harvesting device (EHD) along with a coin cell battery, and an optional vibration EHD with external diode bridge. The output voltage from the S6AE101A is configurable from 1.1V to 5.2V, supporting a broad range of device components for an IoT device. Also included in the kit is Cypress' EZ-BLE PRoC Module (CYBLE-022001-00), a fully integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module solution that offers high flexibility for a wide variety of IoT device uses. A USB port is provided by Cypress' USB-UART LP bridge controller device (CY7C65213). Applications include battery-less wireless sensor nodes (WSN), IoT devices that monitor various sensors, BLE beacons, wearables, building / home / factory energy-management systems, wireless lighting control, wireless HVAC sensors and security systems.
