Atmosic Technologies and Dracula Technologies Battery Free Remote Control Reference Design is Ushering in a New Generation of Low Maintenance IoT Devices
Reference design combines the ultra-low power Atmosic ATM33 SoC with Dracula’s organic photovoltaic technology to bring energy harvesting capabilities to a wide variety of IoT devices BARCELONA, Spain – March 1, 2023 – Today Atmosic Technologies, an innovator in energy harvesting wireless platforms for the Internet of Things (IoT), and Dracula Technologies, a pioneer in harvesting energy through indoor light, today announced they have collaborated on an advanced remote control reference design. The reference design uses Atmosic’s ATM33 ultra-low-power system-on-chip (SoC) and Dracula’s innovative LAYER® platform and includes a real-world example showing how easy it is for companies to test and develop IoT products. With this reference design, companies can design connected devices ranging from beacons to remote controls and industrial sensors, all powered by energy-harvesting technology to provide sustainable solutions that eliminate the need for batteries. Dracula’s LAYER technology is an organic photovoltaic (OPV) solution that generates energy from light to charge low-power indoor (LPI) devices, even in low-light conditions down to 50 LUX. Using inkjet printing, Dracula creates thin, flexible organic PV modules that can be customized to different shapes and sizes. When used together with Atmosic’s ATM33 ultra-low power SoC, Dracula was able to reduce the…
