Maxell has completed joint development of a low current consumption∗1 power supply module kit for evaluation (hereafter "power supply module kit") incorporating the PSB401010H ceramic packaged all-solid-state battery, which boasts a sulfide-based solid electrolyte, high temperature resistance∗2, a long lifetime∗3, and high safety∗4 characteristics, and a voltage boosting DC-DC converter IC equipped with the Nano Energy™ ultra-low current consumption technology developed by ROHM Co., Ltd.

This development further facilitates the evaluation of all-solid-state battery management solutions, enabling the adoption in a wide range of applications from household appliances to industrial equipment, such as monitoring devices and measuring instruments.

The power supply module kit is configured with a charge control IC developed in collaboration with ROHM, a newly-developed voltage boosting DC-DC converter IC equipped with Nano Energy™ ultra-low current consumption technology and a reset IC (optional), as well as the PSB401010H all-solid-state battery.

Maxell's all-solid-state battery is attracting attention as a next-generation rechargeable battery due to such features as its high temperature resistance, long lifetime, and high safety characteristics. By facilitating evaluation of this power supply module kit by companies that are looking toward adopting all-solid-state batteries, Maxell hopes it will be rapidly introduced to many companies, contributing to the resolution of social problems through Maxell products.

  • Low current consumption: The quiescent current (at non-switching) of the voltage boosting DC-DC converter IC (BD8B133NVX) is 180nA (typ.). For details, please refer to the Nano Energy™ ultra-low current consumption technology product page.
  • High temperature resistance: At an environment temperature of up to +125 deg. C, depending on Maxell's test conditions.
  • Long lifetime: Maxell's lifetime prediction result depending on various evaluations and analysis.
  • High safety: No firing or smoking in various safety tests such as +200 deg. C heating, nail penetration, and external short circuiting.
