WPG-1 Datasheet, PDF (1/2 Pages) Laird Tech Smart Technology – Regulated output voltage

Thermobility WPG-1
Wireless Power Generator
The WPG-1 is a self-contained thin-film thermoelectric power generator that harvests waste heat
and converts it to usable output DC power. Due to its compact size, output power generation and
ability to regulate voltage this device is suitable for use in applications to power wireless sensors
and wireless sensor networks.
One WPG-1 can produce up to 1.5 mW of usable output power and can handle a wide range of
load resistances. An ultra-low voltage step-up converter is incorporated to provide usable output
power at low temperature differentials, < 20°K. The output power can be regulated to accommodate
three voltage set points: 3.3V, 4.1V or 5.0V. Custom design services are available to accommodate
alternate heat absorption and heat dissipation mechanisms or output power requirements,
however MOQ applies.
FEATURES
• Compact form factor
• Regulated output voltage
• High waste heat conversion ratio
• Ultra-low voltage converter
• Reliable solid state operation
APPLICATIONS
• Wireless sensors and transmitters
• LED lighting
• Battery charger
Heat is absorbed through a flat heat exchanger plate, energy is harvested by the thin-film
thermoelectric and heat is exhausted into ambient environment by the pin fin heat sink.
