3V prismatic supercapacitors support coin cells and saves BoM
Peak power support to 3V coin cell batteries is provided by the 3V thin prismatic supercapacitors announced by Cap-XX. They also save on bill of materials (BoM) costs as they eliminate the need for a 2.7V low dropout (LDO) regulator for less expensive, smaller, more energy-efficient designs with extended battery life, says the company.
Low power microcontroller duo extends battery-powered sensors and wearables
Two microcontrollers from Maxim Integrated, the MAX32660 and MAX32652 are based on the low-power Arm Cortex-M4F. They are suitable for wearable sensors and battery-powered applications such as IoT sensors, environmental sensors, smartwatches, medical/preventive health wearables, and other size-constrained devices.
Low dropout voltage regulator packs performance into small footprint
Trade-offs between quiescent current, output power, dynamic response, and package size are relieved, says STMicroelectronics at the launch of its STLQ020 low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator.
