Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium – e‑peas, a pioneer in ultra-low-power energy harvesting power management technologies, will showcase its range of PMIC technologies at Embedded World. These enable more sustainable IoT systems and electronic devices that are powered from ambient energy sources and reduce the number of batteries going to landfill.
Its technology has been adopted for use in a wide array of applications, including consumer devices, smart buildings, logistics and transportation, and wearables. Visitors to the e‑peas Embedded World booth will see demonstrations with embedded energy harvesters in a wide array of systems included keyboards, remote control units, asset trackers and a smart home leak detector.
The company will also showcase its new AEM15820, the industry’s first single-chip PMIC capable of harvesting across the full dynamic range of hybrid indoor-outdoor photovoltaic cells.
Introduced in December, the AEM15820 can be used with both batteries and lithium-ion capacitors (LiCs) and can cold-start from input voltages as low as 275 mV. It additionally integrates both low- and high-power boost converters alongside maximum power point tracking (MPPT). This enables engineers to simplify system design while maximizing harvested energy from both indoor and outdoor environments, eliminating the need for multiple PMICs.
Additional demonstrations will include the company’s dual-source PMICs for use with multiple ambient energy sources. The live demonstrations of its PMICs and applications using them will run from March 10-12 at the Nürnberg Messe in Nuremberg, Germany. e‑peas booth will be located in Hall 4A at #4A‑301.
“Relying on batteries to power IoT and other systems not only adds a significant environmental impact and a significant operational expense to replace them, but also introduces a point of failure. This can be hugely costly in a wide range of applications, especially in logistics and transportation where these failures would lose visibility of assets,” said Christian Ferrier, CMO of e‑peas.
The need to replace disposable batteries in IoT systems with energy harvesting systems has also been highlighted by the European Innovation Council, which has launched the 2026 EIC Pathfinder Challenge to create advanced materials and miniaturized energy harvesting systems. In the project’s launch video, the organization cited its forecasts that suggest by 2040, if we continue to rely solely on batteries to power IoT systems, 80 million battery replacements will be needed per day, with the EIC’s Paolo Bondavalli stating this was “neither practical nor sustainable.”
