Integrated Circuit Technology for Efficient Solar Applications
The Austin-based chip manufacturer Freescale Semiconductor Inc. designed a new circuit technology the company at its Tempe facility.Freescale's integrated circuit converts the limited amount of energy produced by solar cells into enough voltage to power products. Using a special configuration that Freescale engineers designed, the integrated circuit takes the energy output from a solar cell and converts it to 5 volts, or enough energy to charge batteries inside a particular device.
