Solving Ultra-Low-Power Challenges for
Connected
Devices With Advanced Battery Chemistries
Description
With the growing push for smaller and low-power connected devices, systems face a dual challenge: achieving ultra-low quiescent and shutdown currents while adapting to lower supply voltages. Advancements in battery manufacturing bring high-power density chemistries such as Silver-Oxide and Zinc-Air to more devices including medical wearables, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and measurement instrumentation. This results in a need for small connected systems that operate with supply voltages as low as 1 V and shutdown currents in the 10s of nA range.

Example Implementation |
Features
- Active standby system-level currents down to 1 µA with 1.5-V supplies and minimal component count.
- System level shelf-mode and ship-mode currents as low as 60 nA without a load switch and down to 10 nA with a load switch.
