Introduction

The Internet of Things (IoT) offers great potential to monitor and manage complex systems, yet remains hindered by excessive use, size, and replacement of batteries in IoT nodes.

Importance of Power Management

Decreasing power use is essential to fulfill the IoT promise for smart, sustainable, and green societies.

Development of IPMIC

We have developed a unique Intelligent Power-Management Integrated Circuit (IPMIC) using silicon-proven subthreshold technology that can autonomously manage any sensor, microcontroller, wireless chip, or peripheral to reduce energy consumption by approximately 50-99%.

Benefits for Designers

This grants novel capabilities to all designers of battery-powered devices to:

  1. Optimize for increased performance
  2. Reduce product size and cost
  3. Eliminate replacement cost and operational barriers for new applications in critical parts of the value chain
  4. Mitigate environmental impacts of disposal

Future Goals

With EIC support, Nanopower will address the IoT battery bottleneck and become a Europe-based, world-leading ultra-low-power specialist.
