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 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.
Toshiba launches small LDO regulator ICs for IoT applications
Small, LDO regulators from Toshiba Electronics Europe combine low quiescent bias current, high ripple rejection and fast transient response, says the company.
Pushbutton load switch ICs save battery power
Designed for mobile devices and others with small capacity batteries, the XC6192 series of pushbutton load switch IC from Torex Semiconductor have a power-save function.
