What happened in 1965?
Dr. Gordon Moore
Moore’s Law
Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years and the cost of compute halves.

Every decade enables a new compute platform
• 1970s – Mainframes, punch cards, mag tape, automation - IBM, DEC, ICL
• 1980s – Microcomputers – BBC Micro (Acorn)/Sinclair/Intel-IBM PC –Modems/Prestel
• 1990’s – WWW & Internet - Low power micros – ARM/TI/Motorola – Laptop & mobile phones
• 2000’s – Broadband, Wireless – Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, Featurephone/Smartphone, low cost sensors
• 2010’s – Internet-of-Things, Cloud analytics, content, GAFA/surveillance capitalism, LPWAN
• 2020’s – AI, 3D printing at scale, predictive maintenance, IIoT, EV/AV, drones

So what's wrong with batteries?
Batteries are perfect for some applications
However system designers need to consider …
• Lifetime & in situ replacement costs• System performance & reporting • Competition for Lithium - EVs & grid storage • End of life responsibilities
Batteries are not ideal for industrial sensors

What is the problem with temperature?
Battery capacity vs TemperatureLi-Ion based cell chemistry
Transistor leakage current increases by orders of magnitude!

What is happening in IIoT and why?
We are seeing the emerging architecture of ..
Sensors – Vibration/Temp/Power/Audio/Optical/Thermal
Networks – Bluetooth/BLE/V5 – WiFI, 2G/3G/4G/5G, LPWAN, wired
AI / Cloud analytics
What's missing?
Power – lots of it, easily accessible,
at low cost & long life9

Power ParadoxMoore's Law vs Energy Available
a BIG gap
Moores Law Energy needed Battery Capacity
1 Assumed wireless sensor system power increase 20% p.a. for new wireless and sensor functionality 2 Dr. Gordon Moore, Intel 1965 – Every 24 months processor performance doubles3 Aviceene Research/US Dept of Energy – Lithium Ion capacity/density increases by ~5%

Battery replacement is a massive ongoing maintenance cost, dominates OPEX

= 8power devices harvest energy from their environment & enable
self-powered, maintenance free operation for up to 10 years
Why Energy Harvesting is so important
Copyright © 8power Limited 2019 – www.8power.com
Emerging architecture for “intelligent sensors”
• We are seeing increasing interest in high performance sensor systems that can run complex, computationally intense algorithms as intelligence moves from the edge to the sensor itself
• Increasing use of both high & low bandwidth wireless standards where available power governs the bearer rather than cost
• This supports an emerging architecture that will have to include energy harvesting in the sensor to provide the necessary power to allow “Fit & Forget” operation for 10 years
• Because ….
There is no Moore’s Law for batteries

One last thought …
The 3 universal truths of innovation
It ALWAYS takes LONGER AND COSTS MORE
Truly transformational technology has a bigger
market than any prediction
The “Killer App” is never what you planned
