F
ujitsu Electronics Europe (FEEU) is
expanding its ultra-low-power line card
portfolio to include products from the
Belgian manufacturer e-peas. Based on
years of research, e-peas has developed
energy-harvesting solutions with market-
leading technical parameters. The offered
components support a wide range of energy
sources such as photovoltaic, thermal,
vibration or RF. With the new partnership,
FEEU seeks to strategically extend its
portfolio and create new synergies between
the offered products and services. The
commercially available AEM10940 features
an ultra-low-power boost converter with
an efficiency of up to 94% with voltage
references, energy management circuitry and
LDO regulators. In addition to the converter
efficiency, the product also has a cold start
capability at an input voltage of only 380
mV and an input power of just 11 μW.
Another benefit is the low number of external
components needed. Another advantage of
working with FEEU is the reliability and speed
of Fujitsu’s global supply chain. In addition, as
an ISO 14001-certified company, FEEU takes
care of the environment by reducing waste
materials for PCB packaging. “Fujitsu has been
supplying the market with FRAM for metering
applications for many years. We therefore
have a thorough understanding of the
challenges involved in powering applications
with an operational life of at least 10 years.
Thanks to the expansion of our portfolio to
include e-peas products, we can now offer a
high-quality alternative to batteries and cable-
based power supply,” said Axel Tripkewitz,
President & Managing Director of FEEU.

O
racle Belgium has opened its
new Cloud eXperience Center.
Alexander De Croo, Minister of Digital
Agenda, officially inaugurated the Cloud
eXperience Center in the presence of
Oracle customers and partners. After the
inauguration and networking reception,
all guests were invited to visit the
Cloud eXperience Center, where they
experienced innovative technology and
discussed how digital transformation
affects organisations.
The Cloud eXperience Center is an
innovative place where visionary
business and technology experts
inspire you. Where you can experience
promising, upcoming technologies
that are run on the cloud. Blockchain,
chatbots, machine learning and artificial
intelligence are just a few examples of
such technologies.
Jan Ronsse, Managing Director Oracle
Belgium & Luxembourg, explained the
philosophy behind the Cloud eXperience
Center: “Everyone is talking about new
technologies but it is not always easy
to understand the impact, even though
some have been around now for several
years. The reason everyone is talking
about new technologies today is that we
now have such vast amounts of data,
that smart computers are needed to
process all that data. Here, the benefits of
artificial intelligence come to the surface.
Another example are the cryptocurrencies
as an application domain of blockchain.
By showing our visitors how technologies
can be applied, Oracle demonstrates their
potential and companies can then use
them to their advantage. I look forward
to welcoming new technologies to our
Cloud eXperience Center.”
Alexander De Croo, Minister of Digital
Agenda, said: “In a rapidly evolving digital
world, the expectations of customers
about how they want to interact with
businesses and how they want to access
information are changing. The physical
meeting is largely being replaced by
digital communications and the speed of
interaction has increased dramatically.
Businesses need to adapt to this and
that’s why initiatives like Oracle’s Cloud
eXperience Center are important to
further fuel digital transformation.”
