Cymbet Corporation (Elk River, MN) introduces the EnerChip™ Energy Processor (EP) CBC915, which works universally across all energy harvesting transducer technologies including photovoltaic, thermoelectric, piezoelectric, and electromagnetic.

The EnerChip EP is for ultra-low power energy harvesting-based systems and uses patent-pending Maximum Peak Power Tracking technology that constantly matches any energy harvesting transducer input impedance. It is designed to provide optimal power management for EnerChip CBC050 rechargeable energy storage devices. The EnerChip EP has user selectable modes and communicates with microcontrollers to create energy-aware products.

The EnerChip EP CBC915-ACA is an ASSP (Application Specific Standard Product) in a standard 38 pin TSSOP package. It comes on tape and reel for SMT assembly and reflow soldering.
