Coin cell battery life and power booster reduces waste in the IoT
The NBM7100 and NBM5100 are battery life boosting ICs designed by Nexperia to extend the life of a typical non-rechargeable lithium coin cell battery by up to a factor of 10 compared to competing solutions. It also increases peak output current capability by up to 25x compared to what a typical coin cell can deliver without a battery booster, said the company. This extension in working life will significantly reduce the amount of battery waste in low power IoT and other portable applications, claimed Nexperia. It will also make coin cells a viable power source for applications which could previously only operate from AA or AAA batteries.
Two-phase power stage for VRM has small footprint
The BMR511 is a two-phase power stage for voltage regulator modules (VRMs). The integrated VRM power stage provides up to 140A peak and has a small footprint of 90mm2 and 8mm high, said Flex Power Modules.
High density source measure unit accelerates semiconductor characterisation
The PZ2100 series is high density precision source measure unit (SMU) that accelerates time to market with flexible software options, said Keysight. It provides 20 precision SMU channels within a 1U rack space to speed the characterisation of IC designs.
