4 Ubicomp PicoCube Architecture TPMS: Tire-pressure monitoring system

5 PicoCube Architecture Sensor Board Radio Board Microprocessor MEMS Piezo Bender Power Bus Microbattery

6 PicoCube Architecture radio COB die on a dime Stacked PCBs 1cm 2 radio board top/bottom switch/power board top/bottom sensor board #2 top/bottom sensor board #1 top/bottom uc board top/bottom storage board top/blank bottom

7 PicoCube Architecture

8 Ubicomp Custom PicoCube Transmitter with FBAR 10 kbps, 10 m range at 0 dbm Supports FSK modulation, but useful for OOK Custom 200 antenna, matching PA Power Management IC 2 switched-capacitor converters (0.7V, 2.1V) 84% efficient Synchronous Rectifier 88% efficient from shaker Ultra-low-power references and other circuitry

9 PicoCube Architecture Stacked PCB, 1cm on a side Global power board µc board sensor board radio board Interconnected via tiny elastomeric connectors 0.065mm wide conductor, typical 0.125mm conductor pitch, typical Multiple contacts per PCB pad Pad geometry: 0.5 x 1.0mm, typical µc Board Sensor Board

10 PicoCube Architecture PCBs separated by non-conductive stand-off ring Provides inner support and precise compression for elastomers Entire assembly inserted into square ring Provides outer support for elastomers and compression mechanism

11 PicoCube Architecture Energy scavenger (TPMS) Moving magnet shaker Output directly proportional to frequency Maybe 15uw RMS in an automobile tire at 20mph About 1500 ohms output impedance Planned: MEMs piezo bender TPMS: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (in vehicles)

12 Energy Harvesting Microsized (micromachined) vibration harvester Vibrational energy scavengers use electromagnetic, electrostatic, or piezoelectric conversion to generate electrical power. A microsized piezoelectric transducer consists of a cantilever with one or several piezoelectric layers sandwiched between metallic electrodes forming a capacitor. At the tip of the cantilever, a seismic mass captures the vibrations of the machine to which the scavenger is attached.
