Learn about ON Semiconductor’s RSL10 Solar Cell Multi-Sensor Board (RSL10-SOLARSENS-GEVK), a comprehensive solution for battery-free IoT applications including smart building, smart home, and Industry 4.0.
With the rapid growth of IoT combined with the high requirement of data storage, processing and transmission has become a big concern for the sustainability of projects. As such, any type of energy harvesting solution is welcome, if not mandatory. When implementing these solutions, the designer must keep in mind that an IoT sensor device will not only have to measure a value (including temperature, moisture, pollution, light level), but also be able to communicate the value to its system host, often wirelessly, with a limited power supply.
ON Semiconductor’s RSL10 Solar Cell Multi-Sensor Board (RSL10-SOLARSENS-GEVK) is a comprehensive solution for battery-free IoT applications including smart building, smart home, and Industry 4.0. Based on the industry’s lowest power Bluetooth Low Energy radio (RSL10), the board features multiple sensors for temperature and moisture-sensing (BMA400-a smart 3-axis accelerometer, BME280- a smart environmental sensor, and the NCT203 wide-range digital temperature sensor).
