Q: How should the charging circuit for YMIN supercapacitors be designed in low-light energy harvesting systems?

Use a dedicated energy harvesting charging management IC that handles low input currents (nA to μA), provides constant-voltage charging (e.g., 4.2V), and includes overvoltage protection for strong sunlight conditions.

Q: Is the YMIN supercapacitor used as main or backup power in low-light remote controls?

In battery-free designs, it serves as the sole main power source, continuously powering all components including Bluetooth chips and microcontrollers.

Q: How to address voltage drop impact on low-voltage microcontrollers?

Select low-ESR supercapacitors and incorporate low-voltage detection (LVD) in software to hibernate the system before voltage drops below threshold, allowing capacitor recharge.

Q: What is the significance of the wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +70°C)?

Ensures reliability in various environments (cars, balconies, northern winters), with low-temperature rechargeability overcoming traditional lithium battery limitations.

Q: Why can YMIN supercapacitors ensure fast startup after long storage?

Ultra-low self-discharge (<1.5mV/day) retains sufficient energy for months, enabling quick startup upon receiving low light, unlike batteries that deplete.

Q: How does lifespan affect product lifecycle?

100,000-cycle lifespan exceeds remote control expectations, achieving 'lifetime maintenance-free' and reducing total cost by eliminating recalls/repairs from energy component failures.

Q: Does the design require a backup battery?

No, supercapacitors alone are sufficient. Adding batteries introduces self-discharge, lifespan, and low-temperature issues, defeating battery-free design purposes.

Question 1

Why choose supercapacitors over traditional batteries for low-light remote controls?

Accepted Answer

Supercapacitors offer extremely long cycle life (over 100,000 cycles), fast charge/discharge capabilities, wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +70°C), and maintenance-free operation. They address core issues of traditional batteries: high self-discharge, short cycle life, and poor low-temperature performance.

Question 2

What are the core advantages of YMIN lithium-ion supercapacitors over double-layer supercapacitors?

Accepted Answer

YMIN's lithium-ion supercapacitors provide higher energy density within the same volume, enabling more energy storage for complex functions (like voice) or longer standby time in low-light remote controls.

Question 3

What are the special requirements for supercapacitors in achieving ultra-low quiescent power consumption (100nA)?

Accepted Answer

Supercapacitors must have extremely low self-discharge rate (<1.5mV/day). If self-discharge exceeds system quiescent current, harvested energy is depleted, causing system malfunction.

Question 4

How should the charging circuit for YMIN supercapacitors be designed in low-light energy harvesting systems?

Accepted Answer

Use a dedicated energy harvesting charging management IC that handles low input currents (nA to μA), provides constant-voltage charging (e.g., 4.2V), and includes overvoltage protection for strong sunlight conditions.

Question 10

Does the design require a backup battery?

Accepted Answer

No, supercapacitors alone are sufficient. Adding batteries introduces self-discharge, lifespan, and low-temperature issues, defeating battery-free design purposes.

Question 11

How does maintenance-free nature reduce total cost?

Accepted Answer

Eliminates battery replacement costs, battery compartment mechanical costs, and leakage-related repair costs, resulting in lower overall cost despite higher initial component cost.

Question 12

What other applications suit YMIN supercapacitors?

Accepted Answer

Intermittent, low-power IoT devices like wireless sensors, smart door sensors, and electronic shelf labels (ESLs), enabling permanent battery life.

Question 13

How to implement 'buttonless' wake-up function?

Accepted Answer

Exploit fast charging: light blocking generates current change to charge capacitor, triggering interrupt to wake MCU, enabling 'pick up and go' without physical buttons.

Question 14

What implications does this have for IoT design?

Accepted Answer

Demonstrates battery-free as a viable, superior path for IoT terminals, enabling maintenance-free, reliable, user-friendly smart hardware through energy harvesting and ultra-low power design.

Question 15

What role does YMIN play in IoT innovation?

Accepted Answer

Solves energy storage bottlenecks by providing small, reliable, long-life supercapacitors, enabling previously blocked innovative designs and promoting IoT普及ation as a key enabler.
