能量收集技術(shù)延長電池壽命

　　消費者對移動電子產(chǎn)品的愿望進行了長期的電池壽命的默認期望，無論任何功能增強。能量收集技術(shù)可以幫助工程師大大延長原電池的壽命。對于設(shè)計師來說，建立電池擴展電路的任務(wù)已經(jīng)從模擬設(shè)備，Cymbet，線性技術(shù)的專業(yè)集成電路的可用性變得相當(dāng)方便，德克薩斯文書，其中。

　　能量收集提供了一種手段，使許多應(yīng)用嚴格地從環(huán)境能源，包括太陽能，溫差，振動或射頻能量。對于這些“零功率”的設(shè)計，可用的環(huán)境能源超過設(shè)計功耗的要求-通常是因為應(yīng)用程序帶來了最小的功能要求很容易滿足使用超低功耗元件。

　　For other applications， however， more complex application requirements can tip the power generation/consumption ratio away from zero-power solutions and instead dictate a need for one or more primary batteries. Even in these cases， designers can nevertheless find themselves facing a growing gap between power requirements and total-battery capacity. When the gap grows too large， consumers become dissatisfied with the product， perceiving it as too frequently requiring battery replacement or recharging.
