Abstract

The third-largest component of your cell phone is the battery. Roughly half of the electronics' physical volume is associated with power management. This talk will provide an overview of these power systems and shed some light on the challenges in the not-so-distant future. This talk is targeted at the mechanical, thermal, materials, and chemical engineers, with a rusty background in electronic circuits, who are interested in learning a bit about  how a cell phone is really powered
