WATT - Energous inks partnerships to support wireless charging applications

Energous (WATT) and Thin Film Electronics (TFECF) have collaborated to simplify the integration of Energous WattUp RF wireless charging and Thinfilm solid-state lithium microbattery technology in form-factor-sensitive applications such as hearables, wearables, and connected sensors.By simplifying the charging method and improving energy storage, Energous and Thinfilm aim to help device manufacturers create comfortable, easy-to-use products without the hassles of wired connections or the limitations of legacy battery technologies.In addition, the company has also partnered with a semiconductor company, e-peas S.A., to develop an evaluation board combining e-peas’ power management IC technology with Energous’ radio frequency ((RF)) solution to support at-a-distance wireless charging applications for smart buildings, industrial IoT sensors, retail electronic displays and more.Belgium-based e-peas provides energy harvesting and processing solutions to give infinite battery life to wireless devices by increasing the amount of harvested energy and by drastically reducing the energy consumption.The evaluation board functionality is expected to include:DA2210 WPT rectifierE-peas AEM30940
