What e-peas does

e-peas S.A. is a Belgian fabless semiconductor company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, with additional offices in La Neuveville, Switzerland and Palo Alto, California. The company designs Ambient Energy Managers (AEMs) — a portfolio of roughly twenty ultra-low-power Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) that extract, regulate, and store energy harvested from ambient sources (photovoltaic light, radio frequency, thermal gradients, vibration, and pulsed/kinetic inputs) using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), buck / buck-boost / LDO output architectures, and very low quiescent current and cold-start power. The product line spans photovoltaic PMICs (e.g., AEM00300/00330, AEM00900/1, AEM10300/10330, AEM10900/1/10920/10941), dual-source devices (AEM13920, AEM13921), a hybrid indoor/outdoor PV part (AEM15820), a thermal PMIC (AEM20941), and RF/vibration PMICs (AEM30300/30330, AEM30940), packaged in QFN and WLCSP options as small as 2x2mm. In 2024 e-peas added a complementary ultra-low-power microcontroller, the EDMS105N, forming a 'PMIC + MCU' dual-technology offering aimed at fully energy-autonomous wireless IoT nodes.

e-peas sells these semiconductors as goods to OEM and ODM customers under quote-based B2B terms (USD, 30-day net, Ex-Works Incoterms 2010, 12-month warranty), with global fulfillment through its own offices and a distributor network that includes Mouser, Kaga Fei Europe, Hawyang Semiconductor (Greater China), Steliau, More Electronics (Nordics) and Computer Electronics. Its GTM combines sales-led direct engagement with deep co-development reference designs alongside wireless SoC vendors (Silicon Labs xG22E Explorer Kit shields, Qorvo BLE + energy harvesting reference) and storage partners (CAP-XX LEAF platform), supported by an active trade-show circuit (CES, Embedded World, VivaTech, Sensors Converge, The Things Conference, CEATEC, WPTCE) and a content/newsroom engine (186+ news items, 23 webinars, 17 case studies).

End customers and design wins span consumer electronics (Google TV G32 remote), industrial IoT asset tracking (Minew MTB11 with Epishine indoor PV, up to 1 million units over three years), smart buildings (Greatech Sensoco® Loomair Solar CO2 sensor), wireless modules (Panasonic PAN1780 BLE), home appliances (Electrolux), air-quality monitoring (MCCI), aerospace (NASA 2022 project), and energy storage platforms (CAP-XX). The company has raised approximately €35.5 million cumulatively across disclosed rounds, including a €17.5 million round in March 2024 led by Otium Capital with the European EIC Fund and Nomainvest, plus a 2026 NATO DIANA selection. It is privately held, employs between 11 and 50 people, and is co-founded and led by CEO Geoffroy Gosset alongside CTO Julien De Vos.

Core offering

e-peas designs and sells ultra-low-power Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) branded as Ambient Energy Managers (AEMs) that harvest energy from ambient sources — light, RF, thermal gradients, vibration, and pulsed/kinetic motion — and deliver it to a rechargeable storage element or directly to a wireless IoT device. The company offers approximately 20 distinct PMIC variants plus the EDMS105N ultra-low-power microcontroller, enabling battery-free and battery-extended operation of sensors, remote controls, asset trackers, electronic shelf labels, and other low-power wireless devices for OEM and ODM customers.

Product overview

e-peas offers a single, focused energy harvesting platform organized as a product family plus modules rather than multiple unrelated product lines. The flagship is the AEM (Ambient Energy Manager) product family — a portfolio of ultra-low-power Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) that extract, regulate, and store energy harvested from ambient sources (photovoltaic, RF, vibration, thermal, and pulsed/kinetic) to power battery-free and battery-minimal wireless IoT devices. The AEM family includes around 20+ distinct sub-products grouped by harvester source: AEM00300/AEM00330 (pulsed/photovoltaic), AEM00900/1, AEM00920, AEM00940/1, AEM10300, AEM10330, AEM10900/1, AEM10920, AEM10941 (photovoltaic), AEM11900 (pulsed intermittent source), AEM13920 and AEM13921 (dual-source / dual-input), AEM15820 (hybrid indoor/outdoor PV), AEM20941 (thermal), and AEM30300, AEM30330, AEM30940 (RF and AC/vibration). Complementing the AEM PMICs, e-peas has introduced the EDMS105N ultra-low-power Microcontroller (MCU), which together with the AEMs forms the company's "dual technology" offering for fully energy-autonomous IoT designs. An AEM Selector Guide is provided as a downloadable PDF to help developers choose the right AEM for their harvester and storage element. The AEMs are widely deployed in smart home and building sensors, remote controls, electronic shelf labels, asset trackers, industrial IoT nodes, wearables, and consumer electronics.
