Designed for space-constrained applications, micro system level IC (uSLIC) modules from Maxim Integrated Products, shrink the size of the power supply by 2.25x, claims the company. The MAXM17532 and MAXM15462 DC/DC power modules measure 2.6 x 3.0 x 1.5mm. The integrated DC/DC power modules are part of Maxim’s Himalaya power portfolio targeting industrial, healthcare, communications, and consumer markets. With these modules, customers get the full benefits of industry-best switching regulators with the size and simplicity of a linear regulator (LDO), says Maxim.

DC/DC converter boasts industry’s lowest current consumption of 180nA
For IoT applications, where battery life is an important consideration, Rohm Semiconductor has used Nano Energy technology in its BD70522GUL DC/DC converter.
Sensor IC measures high-speed heart rate for vital sign sensing
An optical heart rate sensor, the BH1792GLC from Rohm Semiconductor, is designed for smart bands and watches. It has high-speed 1024Hz sampling, which makes it possible to measure the heart rate up to 32 times faster than conventional solutions, claims Rohm. It can also be used for measuring blood pressure, stress and vascular age.
Real-time clock claims lowest power consumption
According to Micro Crystal, the RV-3028-C7 is the first low power real time clock (RTC) module that requires just 40nA at a supply of 3.0V.
