TitleConcept & design of electronics building blocks for autonomous green flexible power sources to serve smart platforms on foils
DateMarch 13th 2024
Time14:00 PM (CET)
LanguageEnglish
Trainer/PresenterHugo Viana (CENIMAT)
AbstractFor several years, thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been widely adopted in the display industry (e.g., LCD, OLED, µ-LED, VR/AR) but more recently, other areas have emerged where this technology is relevant, from analog and digital integrated circuits to large-area electronics on low-cost flexible substrates, resulting in a paramount of applications that includes flexible/wearable devices, biosensors, and neuromorphic computation.
The work presented at this seminar is being developed within the European Project “Fully Oxide-based Zero-Emission and Portable Energy Supply”. FOXES project aims to establish a new eco-friendly paradigm for powering wireless devices of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the goal is to develop a compact   “Power Cube”, a device that combines a high-efficiency solar cell with a multilayer capacitor and an energy management circuit (EMC) able to ensure full energy-autonomous operation of an IoT sensor node. 
The seminar will be focused on the design of the oxide TFT based EMC which harvests energy from the solar cell, boost and stores it in the thin-film capacitor, and generates three regulated output voltages for the IoT node with an overall conversion efficiency above 50%.
