AmbioMote24 is a unique energy harvesting and wireless platform for self-powered and ultra low-power applications.
AmbioMote24
combines highly efficient energy conversion and storage, a high-speed
wireless interface and user sensor interfaces with intelligent power
management algorithms that maximize energy delivery from the energy
harvester.
Key features of AmbioMote24 include:
- Tight
integration of energy harvesting electronics and power management with
wireless sensor interfaces provides a unique platform for self-powered
applications. AmbioMote can accumulate electrical energy provided by an
energy harvester until it stores enough for safe completion of a
sensing and transmission operation. A battery backup can be used for
applications requiring high reliability.
- Intelligent control of energy conversion from energy harvesters provides energy gain of up to 400% (for certain applications).
- Wide
range of input voltages (4V-80V) enables operation from a variety of
sources such as electromagnetic or piezoelectric energy harvesters.
- AmbioMote24 can use battery power
as a back-up or primary source. Ultra-low power consumption of
AmbioMote24 can be used to significantly prolong battery life.
- Energy requirements of a specific
application are addressed by a multi-bank low-leakage storage.
Multi-bank operation allows sizing of energy capacity to various
operations and fast initial startup of the sensor node.
- Each sensor node has a unique ID
and therefore can be easily identified. Star network architecture
enables easy configuration and management of the sensor nodes
- High-speed (2Mbps) wireless link
saves energy on data transmissions and enables real-time transmission
of data with much higher sampling rates then IEEE802.15.4 (Zigbee)
sensor nodes. AmbioMote24 operates in the 2.4 ISM frequency band and
therefore can be utilized worldwide. Two hundred and fifty six possible
transmission channels enable space sharing by multiple AmbioMote24
networks and coexistence with WiFi devices.
- Long transmission range (80m with a rubber duck antenna) provides wide area coverage.
- A
variety of analog (3ch ADC) and digital (digital interrupt-driven I/O,
SPI, I2C and serial) interfaces ensures wide compatibility with
industry-standard sensors
This unique
combination of features allows AmbioMote24 utilization in a variety of
most demanding applications. AmbioMote24 is priced competitively to
other wireless platforms that do not have the capability of working
from harvested energy. Additional information about AmbioMote24 and
other products can be found on the company's website.
