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.

A wireless IoT “thing” sleeps, senses and connects. How efficiently it does these tasks can have implications for device functionality, size, and battery lifetime.

Designers can choose from a number of options when trying to meet the Internet of Things’ low-power demands for wireless mobile devices.
