xMEMS introduces tiny cooling fan designed for smart glasses
xMEMS launched the XMC-1200, a micro cooling fan designed for integration into smart glasses. It aims to enhance performance and comfort by enabling better heat dissipation in future wearable devices.
Key points
- XMC-1200 is the world's smallest active micro fan
- Designed for smart glasses, AR, and XR applications
- Operates at 70mW, reducing temperature by up to 10 degrees C
Introduction of the XMC-1200
xMEMS has unveiled the XMC-1200, a tiny cooling fan specifically engineered to fit into the temple arms of smart glasses. Measuring just 46mm², it promises to facilitate better heat management in next-generation wearable devices.
Technical Specifications
The XMC-1200 is built on the µCooling platform and is paired with the Astra2 drive ASIC. This configuration allows it to draw only 70mW of power while effectively lowering temperatures by up to 10 degrees Celsius under a 1W thermal load.
Potential Impact on Smart Glasses
By improving heat dissipation, the XMC-1200 could enhance processor performance, enable longer video recording sessions, and increase comfort for users. This is especially crucial as on-device AI applications become more computing-intensive.
Future Availability
Engineering samples of the XMC-1200 are available to select manufacturers. xMEMS targets production readiness for Q4 2027, with final products expected to appear in the market by 2028, potentially transforming the design of smart glasses.
