The components harvest energy from all modulation types, enabling maximum power transfer and range in small size
The Powerharvester RF-to-DC Converter Chips PCC114 and PCC110 from Powercast Corporation are the core components that convert RF energy to DC power.
When paired with tuning components and an antenna, these chips can harvest RF energy from 10MHz to 6GHz. They have an extremely small profile: 1mm x 0.6mm x 0.3mm (PCC114) and 2mm x 2.1mm x 0.9mm (PCC110), and have up to 75% conversion efficiency while harvesting energy from all modulation types, enabling maximum power transfer and range. Due to their small size, they have a low cost of implementation and are RoHS compliant.
