Reducing the footprint of a hearable device, such as an ear bud, by using smaller batteries can come at the cost of shorter runtimes between recharges, advises Dialog Semiconductor. Hearable devices frequently read data to support advanced functionality such as connectivity, auto-pairing, charge cradle data exchange and equalisation. Dialog Semiconductor has developed the AT25SL128A Flash to minimise power consumption. It features low power, 1.8 V operation, fast read, low profile wafer level chip scale packages (WLCSPs) and is intended for small IoT devices like hearables.
