When going to a smaller node is no longer an option, how do you get better power performance? Several techniques are possible. Going to the next node has been the most effective way to reduce power, ...

In many Internet of Things (IoT) applications, minimizing power consumption is a key design requirement. IoT capability involves adding sensors and connectivity to a valve or similar device in a ...

The individual sensor node is arguably the most interesting component of this system since it encompasses so many different sensors and applications. From the smart thermostat in your office adjusting ...

Consider for a second the Internet of Things. A vast network of connected devices, programmable matter, and wearable electronics can only mean one thing: there’s going to be a ton of batteries. While ...

Smaller geometry nodes offer cost and performance advantages that encourage their adoption. Yet they present a new set of challenges for IC manufacturers: Though transistors are smaller, they leak ...

High-current, point-of-load (POL) buck converters leverage metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to provide the pulse-width-modulation (PWM) pulse train to the output filter.
