The kit is built around Cypress' single chip, low power energy harvesting PMIC Solution. This solution includes an integrated PMIC that eliminates the need for integrated analog components such as DC to DC converters, comparators, rectifiers, and voltage references. The PMIC only consumes 1.2 µW during operation, which is one quarter the power required by the nearest competitor. This enables the use of solar cells as small as 1 square centimeter under low light conditions. The small solar cell enabled by the low power PMIC, plus the small form factor EZ-BLE PRoC Module, combined can create a low power, small solar powered wireless sensor node.
