The Benefits of Supercapacitor and Battery Hybrid Systems
Supercapacitors and batteries are both essential components of hybrid systems, which are becoming increasingly important as we move towards a more sustainable future. While batteries are excellent for storing large amounts of energy over extended periods, supercapacitors excel at delivering short bursts of high-power energy quickly. When combined in a hybrid system, these two technologies complement each other perfectly. One of the main benefits of using a hybrid system is that it allows for greater energy efficiency. By using a supercapacitor to handle short-term energy spikes and a battery to provide sustained power over time, energy waste can be minimized, and the system can operate more efficiently overall. This is especially useful in applications such as electric vehicles, where both high-power…

MSI & VINATech - Free Energy Harvesting
Free energy harvesting application case study Energy harvesting is taking energy that exists in the environment and converting it to power. The most common forms of energy that are harvested consists of solar power, wind power and hydroelectric power. Power can be harvested from radio frequencies or vibrations. Below, we explain how the MSRFIF Radio Frequency Front End IC can be used to harvest energy from radio frequencies or vibrations to charge a VINATech Lithium Hybrid Supercapacitor. The application requires minimal external components. A means of capturing the frequency, a Piezo device, etc A diode (D1) may be needed on the VDDA output to prevent any leakage current on the VDDA pin to drain the VPC supercapacitor and a 3.8V Zener diode (D2) to ensure that the…
