　　对可穿戴设备和物联网的隐形电池

　　可穿戴设备市场和物联网（物联网）运动都预计将在未来十年迅速扩大。这些应用部门对电子元件的主要技术要求是超低功耗，低成本，无线连接，在大多数情况下，超小尺寸。

　　能量采集已经被确定为一个重要的技术，可穿戴设备和无线传感器节点供电。电池储能，同时，被认为是必不可少的大多数应用。然而，今天的传统形式的因素，包括硬币细胞，被视为一个严重的限制。瘦、柔韧和能力是关键因素。因此，薄膜/固态和印刷电池提供了最大的潜力。

　　This article will outline the challenges of providing continuous power for wearable devices with respect to battery technology， battery lifetime and rechargeability. It will then highlight the advantages of the latest generation of solid-state batteries， particularly their small size， design flexibility， and their ability to be recharged wirelessly via harvested ambient energy.

　　Reference will be made to the Cymbet Corporation range of EnerChip solid-state batteries with integrated real-time clock and power management features and their respective evaluation kits.
