eTEG Series PG37,72,F2,0203,GG
Thin Film Energy Harvester
Innovative
Technology
for a
Connected
World
The eTEG Series is a micro thermoelectric power generator that harvests waste heat and
converts it to usable output DC power. Due to its size, output power generation and heat
conversion to power ratio this device is suitable for use in applications to power wireless
sensors and wireless sensor networks.
One eTEG PG37 can produce 130 milliWatts of output power and 2.5 volts in an open
circuit at a temperature differential of 100°C all within a 10.3 mm
2
footprint. This unit is
assembled with thin film semiconductor material, thermally conductive aluminum nitride
ceramics and gold plated wire bondable pads. The eTEG Series is designed for low power
output applications with tight geometric space constraints. Custom designs are available
to accommodate metallization, pretin solder and ceramic patterns, however MOQ applies.

DEFINITIONS
The maximum amount of power created from the thermoelectric generator’s
Seebeck effect. This point occurs when the load resistance matches the device
resistance resulting in an output voltage of ½ Voc, where Voc is the open
circuit voltage.
Delta T is the temperature difference across the thermoelectric generator.
