Moving from Smart to Brilliant Energy

On October 14, 2020 in All, General, IoT, Low Power, Power, Sensors by Jon Gabay

Making energy use more efficient on a device is common. Doing it with a distributed random needs-based environment is more difficult. Appliances that can work together to assure peak-demand load conformity will have an advantage over those that don’t.

An Introduction to Nanoelectronics

On June 26, 2020 in All, Computing, Energy Harvesting, Memory, Power, Sensors by Liam Critchley

As components need to get smaller to accommodate consumer needs, manufacturers need a way of doing this. Nanoelectronics is the creation of electrical components using nanomaterials that can not only reduce the size of the device, but also provide the same, if not better, performance.

Using PMIC to Manage Power for SoCs

On June 15, 2020 in All, Power by Adam Kimmel

Optimizing the design of programmable PMIC SoC requires balancing design flexibility, system efficiency, cost, and time to market. We review one product type that illustrates this balance.
