e-peas AEM30940 Evaluation Board

e-peas AEM30940 Evaluation Board provides a demonstration and development platform for the AEM30940 RF Energy Harvesting IC. The AEM30940 is an integrated Ambient Energy Manager (AEM) that can extract DC power from a piezo generator, a microturbine generator, or any other high-frequency 868MHz or 915Mhz RF input, simultaneously storing energy in a rechargeable element and supplying the system with two independent regulated voltages.

The AEM30940 Evaluation Board includes a pre-mounted AEM30940 IC in a QFN28 package, along with all the needed support components and jumpers to configure the device.

The AEM30940 Evaluation Board allows users to test the e-peas AEM30940 and analyze its performances in a laboratory-like setting. It allows easy connections to the energy harvester, the storage element, and the low-voltage and high-voltage loads. It also provides all the conﬁguration access to set the device in any one of the modes described in the datasheet. The control and status signals are available on standard pin headers, allowing users to wire for any usage scenario and evaluate the relevant performance.
