Low-Power Battery Technology

Low quiescent current (Iq) means lower operational power and longer battery life. Designing low-Iq solutions requires good technique, tools, and technologies.

With the advent of AI and machine learning, chips powering smart devices must be designed to balance power efficiency and processing performance.

To squeeze more life out of a smaller battery, use devices with low quiescent current.

A disruptive approach to battery modeling is critical for an effective fuel-gauge system to make it approachable, cost-effective, and accurate.
