Abstract

This paper investigated the method for the output of power management IC (PMIC) for BLE beacon with energy harvesting device to be maintained constantly. The capacitor was used to store the energy supplied from energy harvesting device such as solar module and the capacitance was estimated to the optimum value according to the interval for the BLE beacon to send advertising signal.

본 논문에서는 에너지 하베스팅 (Energy Harvesting) 기술을 적용한 BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) 비콘에서 전력 관리를 위한 PMIC (Power Management IC)의 출력 전압을 일정하게 유지하기 위한 방안을 연구하였다. 에너지 하베스팅 장치에서 제공되는 에너지를 확보하고 저장하기 위한 축전 장치로 캐패시터를 사용하였고, 주어진 Advertising Interval에서 BLE 모듈에 일정한 전압을 제공하기 위한 최적의 캐패시턴스를 분석하였다.
