Allowing devices to run on the same battery for years rather than months partakes in enhancing significantly end-user satisfaction. Numerous wireless communication SoC, whether BLE, Zigbee, Sigfox, LoRa, M2M 4G…, have a duty cycle such that the power consumption in sleep mode dominates the overall current drawn from the battery. For such applications, the design
Connected battery-based devices require always more computing power to run feature rich application programs while using the minimal energy to ensure the longest usage without recharge. As a result, fabless companies need to hunt down every “mA” to satisfy the low-power expectations of their SoC users. Numerous System-on-Chips rely on a Non-Volatile flash Memory –

The industry’s focus on battery-powered devices sets new expectations in terms of energy saving for a wide range of applications such as IoT, wearables and wireless MCUs. Meeting the underlying low-power challenge requires a new class of silicon IPs to enable unmatched power consumption figures and new IoT SoC architectures leveraging operating modes with reduced
optimize your AoN domain to reach low-power The specificity of numerous battery-powered applications (such as Wearables, IoT, Wireless communication…) is to spend most of their time in a sleep mode (> 99%). In many cases, the analysis of the energy consumed at the battery level in each power mode shows that the power consumption in
Voice Control is becoming a mandatory feature of today’s devices as it provides smooth and natural ways to interact. This is a demonstration of a new type of Voice Activity Detector – named WhisperTrigger – to achieve ultra-low power consumption. It is a silicon IP to combine with a microphone, an Analog to Digital Converter
