Why Low Quiescent Current Matters for Longer Battery Life

Battery life is getting increased scrutiny as our devices continue to shrink but are still expected to deliver more functionality and performance than ever before. Effectively extending battery life in future devices will require mastery of low quiescent current. This paper examines the role of low quiescent current in delivering the battery life essential for today’s (and tomorrow’s) wearable, mobile, and other smart, connected devices.
