Torex expands its low quiescent current inductor range
Inductors with a built-in, step-down DC/DC converter make up the XCL232 series from Torex Semiconductor.
Battery management IC monitors can shrink final form factors
Charge and fuel gauge accuracy in a smaller solution size can be realised with the MAX17330 by Analog Devices. It includes AccuCharge technology with integrated fuel gauge and battery protection for one-cell lithium-ion/polymer batteries to extend battery runtimes.
Power Management IC charges wearables four times faster than competitors
Integrating a switching charger, the MAX77659 single inductor mode output (SIMO) power management IC (PMIC) from Analog Devices charges wearable devices and hearables four times faster than any other PMIC currently available.
