A thin-film, solid-state thermogenerator in a standard package.
Component suppliers are in a never-ending race to reduce power consumption, pack in more features, and miniaturize – miniaturize – miniaturize. The trouble with microscopic components… is figuring out how to integrate these diminutive devices into your designs – prototype through finished product.
Is that a peltier on the tip of that pencil? Yep.
What’s refreshing, is to see manufacturers that ‘get it.’ Micropelt packs the heat… in a standard package.
These teensy-tiny thermogenerators offer high power density, with up to 100 leg pairs per mm², and a very high output voltage of up to 1.75 volts per Watt of thermal input. Did I mention that they’re really small?
Small… and awesome!
Because of their size, it’s possible to integrate wireless sensors deeply into your designs. Take a look at their TE-Power Ring implementation; monitor heat, stress, or general operating conditions from within the device. Like I said, awesome.
