Powercast PCC100/PCC210 Powerharvester Chipset

Powercast PCC100/PCC210 Powerharvester® Chipset includes the PCC110 RF-to-DC converter and the PCC210 Boost Converter. The Chipset is used in conjunction with numerous Powercast Reference Designs, including the P1110 and P2110 Powerharvester Modules. The PCC110 is designed to maximize RF-to-DC conversion efficiency up to 75% while supporting a wide range of input power levels, load voltages, and frequency bands. The PCC210 is designed to efficiently boost low input voltages and provide a regulated output voltage to a load device.

Powercast’s embedded wireless power solution works in the far field for over-the-air charging of multiple devices – no wires, charging mats or direct line of sight needed. Behaving like Wi-Fi®, where enabled devices automatically charge over the air when within range of a transmitter, Powercast’s remote wireless charging is more convenient than inductive, coil-based charging that requires direct contact with a power source.
