e-peas AEM10941 Solar Energy Harvesting IC is an integrated Ambient Energy Manager (AEM) that can extract DC power from up to 7-cell solar panels, simultaneously storing energy in a rechargeable element and supplying the system with two independent regulated voltages. The AEM10941 is designed to extend battery lifetime and ultimately eliminate the primary energy storage element …
One of the problems with using a Raspberry Pi or most other systems in a production environment is dealing with sudden shutdowns due to power loss. Modern operating systems often keep data in memory that should be on disk, and a sudden power cycle can create problems. One answer is an uninterruptible power supply, but …
e-peas has announced the introduction of a new power management IC specifically optimized for energy harvesting from thermal sources in wireless sensors application. Supplied in a space-saving 28-pin QFN package, the AEM20940 is a highly advanced device based on proprietary technology that is capable of extracting available input current up to levels of 110mA. Taking DC …

The Story When we started thinking about using the Raspberry Pi in applications requiring a bit more reliable operation, we always had to face the same problems: Power outages Corrupted file systems or SD-cards Brownouts Inrush currents As a solution to these problems, we have created the Juice4Halt module. It combines brownout protection and a …
Juice4Halt – Supercapacitor UPS for Raspberry Pi Read More »
Nelectra is crowdfunding a supercapacitor based micro-UPS for Raspberry models B and B+, enabling brownout protection and “last gasp” shutdown sequences. Bratislava, Slovakia based Nelectra’s first product was a generic “Juice4Halt” supercapacitor based micro-UPS (uninterrupted power supply) module aimed at single board computers used in industrial and embedded applications. The adapters protect the SBC’s operation …
