Mouser Electronics, the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the AEM15820 ultra-efficient power management IC (PMIC) from e-peas.
The AEM15820 is a single-chip solution capable of harvesting the full range of hybrid indoor/outdoor photovoltaic (PV) cells. These hybrid PV cells have a wide power output range, from microwatts under indoor lighting to several watts in direct sunlight. To manage this range, multi-PMIC solutions have previously been required, adding cost and complexity to the overall system designs. Equipped with both low‑ and high‑power boost converters and a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) module, operating in open‑circuit ratio or constant‑voltage modes, the AEM15820 maximizes harvested power across broad input conditions. A dedicated cold‑start circuit enables operation from input voltages as low as 275 mV (1.5 µW minimum).
The AEM15820 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including sports or hiking computers and self-charging headphones, PV-charged earbud cases, and e-readers. Additional markets include remote security cameras, smart glasses, power banks, and smart backpack power modules.
As a global authorised distributor, Mouser offers the world’s widest selection of the newest semiconductors and electronic components — in stock and ready to ship. Mouser’s customers can expect 100% certified, genuine products that are fully traceable from each of its manufacturer partners. To help speed up the design process for customers, Mouser’s website hosts an extensive library of technical resources, including a Technical Resource Centre, along with product data sheets, supplier-specific reference designs, application notes, technical design information, engineering tools and other helpful information.
