Even though it is much, much smaller than an American dime, the PCC110 can harvest RF Wireless Power to make products less reliant on wires and disposable batteries.  A big task, for such a small chip.

This month marks a huge milestone for Powercast, AND the wireless power industry as we have shipped over 10 million harvesting chips in just 2 years.  This means that the first RF harvesting device you get your hands on, probably will be powered by Powercast’s incredible technology.

Utilizing Liquid X’s proprietary ink technology, manufacturers can print circuitry directly onto a garment, add Powercast’s wireless power technology and a battery, and seal this all into the garment during the manufacturing process.

Circuitry is printed on the fabric using Liquid X’s proprietary particle-free ink, including Powercast’s RF wireless receiving antenna. Next, Powercast’s Powerharvester® RF wireless power receiver chip, a battery, and other components are mounted onto the printed traces.  An encapsulant then provides a high strength waterproof bond to seal in all of the electronics.

Liquid X, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is an advanced material manufacturer of functional metallic inks that takes an application from prototype to production. Liquid X partners with manufacturers within the electronics industry to develop and print functional components utilized in various devices, including sensors; heating elements; smart textiles and many others. Through our proprietary particle-free inks, printing capabilities and technical expertise, we take an application from concept to commercialization using additive manufacturing techniques.
