Cymbet EnerChip Bare Die Solid State Batteries Verified Non-Cytotoxic
Cymbet Corp. announced the successful results of in vitro biocompatibility feasibility studies that were conducted to evaluate the cytotoxicity potential of the EnerChip™ Rechargeable Solid State Battery. EnerChip bare die battery samples were gamma sterilized and evaluated using two in vitro test methods for cytotoxicity: a) Medium Eluate Method (MEM) -1X CMEM Cell Growth Medium Extract, and b) Agar Diffusion – Solid Sample. These in vitro cell culture assays are considered to be excellent screening assays for biocompatibility.
The gamma sterilized Cymbet EnerChip bare die batteries were found to be non-cytotoxic (0% cell lysis) using both the Medium Eluate Method Eluation Test and Agar Diffusion Test feasibility screening procedures. The lack of any adverse biological responses in these very sensitive in vitro cell culture assays is indicative (although not a guarantee) of biocompatible test results in the other in vitro and in vivo aspects of biocompatibility as suggested by the ISO 10993-1 and FDA G95-1 guidelines.
Cymbet EnerChip solid state batteries are uniquely fabricated using standard semiconductor integrated circuit processes with patented construction techniques. EnerChip batteries are REACH compliant as they contain no hazardous substances as shown on the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list published on the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) website. Additionally, EnerChip rechargeable solid state batteries have been fully tested as RoHS compliant.
"These biocompatibility test results demonstrate why EnerChip Solid State Batteries are such a unique and safe battery technology," said Bill Priesmeyer Cymbet CEO. "Our medical and veterinary device customers are very pleased with the outcome of these tests. But for all our global customers, these test results highlight the intrinsic health and environmental safety characteristics of EnerChip batteries that are significantly better than legacy commercial battery chemistries."

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
