General Description
The THINERGY™ MEC101 is a solid-state, flexible,
rechargeable, thin-film Micro-Energy Cell (MEC®). This
unique device substantially outperforms all other small form
factor electrochemical energy storage technologies, including supercapacitors, printed batteries, and other thin-film
batteries. The device is fabricated on a metal foil substrate
to achieve its flexibility, thin profile, broad operating temperature range, and long life.
The MEC is offered in a unique, patented package design
that maximizes the active area of the cell and minimizes the
device footprint to deliver the highest energy and power
density of any energy storage element of its size. External
terminals in the form of metal tabs run along the length of
the cell on two opposite edges to provide contact when connecting to wires, a PCB, or stacking the cells into a module.
These tabs also allow easy connection to both terminals
from either side of the cell, which is important during auto-
mated assembly onto flex circuits and printed circuit boards
(PCBs). The highly conductive metal tabs allow various
connection methods including epoxies, anisotropic conductive film (ACF) materials, and lead-free solder. The cells can
be oriented to stack in series (to multiply voltage) or in parallel (to multiply capacity and power).
The MEC101 is an extremely thin energy storage device
that can withstand the heat and pressure of hot lamination
processes, allowing it to be deeply embedded into rigid or
flex PCBs, multi-chip modules (MCM), or system in package (SIP) implementations.
The active materials in the device include a LiCoO2 cathode
and a Li-metal anode. A solid-state electrolyte called LiPON
(Lithium Phosphorus Oxynitride), with its high Li-ion conductivity, is used to provide superior power performance.
The extremely low electron conductivity within LiPON

THINERGY™ MEC101: Solid-State, Flexible, Rechargeable Thin-Film Micro-Energy Cell
results in ultra-low self discharge, making this technology
ideal for applications using ambient energy harvesting
charging solutions. In addition, this technology emits no
toxic chemicals, providing industry-leading safety with
absolutely no possibility for chemical leakage, thermal runaway or fire, as experienced with other Li-ion batteries
using liquid or gel electrolytes. A proprietary encapsulation
methodology is used to ensure reliability and performance
under harsh environmental conditions, far exceeding other
micro-energy storage technologies.
The thin form factor, rechargeability, and high discharge
rate capability enable applications where conventional
coin/button or primary thin batteries are not well suited. Due
to its low internal cell resistance, the MEC offers superior
charge acceptance, making it an ideal energy storage
device for applications where extremely low current
recharge sources are available, including various ambient
energy harvesting methods. Pulsed or continuous currents
as low as 1 µA can be used to effectively recharge this
device. The MEC recharges in seconds to minutes, depending on its state of discharge and available charge current.
MECs can be recharged using constant current, constant
voltage, pulsed current, or pulsed voltage sources. Any
charge voltage greater than cell voltage (not to exceed the
maximum specified recharge voltage) will result in charging.
A variety of charging methods can be used, such as direct
connection to a power supply, wireless recharge via inductive coupling, or energy scavenging solutions that harvest
kinetic, solar, RF, magnetic, or thermal energy.
The low self-discharge rate results in decades of shelf life.
With its recharge cycle stability, the device offers thousands
of recharge cycles for many years of use with no memory
effects. The MEC101 provides an extremely safe, reliable,
and low-cost energy storage solution that outperforms any
other micro-battery or capacitor solution. This component
class device is designed in for the life of the product.

MECs are shipped in a partially-charged state. Full charging prior to use is recommended.
Discharging the cell below the specified discharge cutoff voltage results in reduced battery performance and could cause battery damage.
Standard electric chemical degradation proportional to temperature increase. Contact IPS for MEC specifications for temperatures >25°C. Contact
IPS for information regarding higher temperature applications up to 265°C.
