Designed to enable the integration of ultra-low power communications in SoCs targeting wearables, IoT and other long battery life connected devices that need to be cost-sensitive, Imagination Technologies has announced the first members of its Ensigma Whisper flexible connectivity IP family.
Power
Sensor hubs is low power to extend battery life
At just 75uW (68µA at 1.1V) active power consumption, the ArcticLink 3 S2 LP sensor hub from QuickLogic is the lowest power programmable sensor hub on the market, claims the company.
LDO regulator ICs meet extended battery needs
LDO regulator ICs from Toshiba are available in a small package and are suited to a variety of mobile devices that require extended battery lives and high-density board assembly, including wearable devices, smartphones, tablet PCs and portable games.
The 200mA output TCR2LN/LE/LF series features ultra-low quiescent bias current and low dropout voltage.
They are available in fixed output voltages between 0.8 and 3.6V and feature over-current protection and an auto-discharge option. Using a fine analogue IC process for advanced CMOS, they realise low bias current characteristics by reducing the bias current to 2µA (max) in comparison to the existing TCR2EN series.
The ICs are available now, in small SDFN4 (0.8 x 0.8 x 0.38mm) and general purpose SOT-553 and SOT-25 packages.
