Designers can extend battery life and reduce size in space-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices with two nanoPower modules with built-in inductors from Analog Devices. Both products are part of Analog Devices’ Essential Analog family of efficient power ICs. The MAXM38643 1.8V to 5.5V input, 330nA quiescent current (IQ), 600mA buck module and the MAXM17225 0.4V to 5.5V input, 300nA IQ, 1A boost module with True Shutdown feature the lowest IQ compared to competitive solutions and deliver more battery life.

RDK2 development kit aids proof of concepts
Marketed as a complete solution for firmware and hardware developers, the RDK2 development kit from Rutronik, this modular toolkit uses the PSoC62 microcontroller from Infineon Cypress and provides a solution for applications in Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial IoT (IIoT), smart wearables and smart home.
Torex extends LDO regulators with ‘green operation’ series
LDO regulators with low current consumption are suitable for IoT products and wearable devices. Torex has launched the XC6241 high-speed LDO regulator ICs, based on a CMOS process. They achieve low current consumption, high accuracy, and high ripple rejection, says the company, and are available in small and thin packages.
RFID UHF tags are designed to be inserted into textiles
Small RFID UHF RAIN transponders designed to be discretely inserted into small pieces of clothing to prevent losses and laundry confusion. The LinTRAK XS is a small RFID (radio frequency identification) ultra-high frequency (UHF) tag which can be inserted or attached to small textile products and personal clothing to track them around a multi-occupancy dwelling. It is intended to be used in nursing homes and care facilities to track the residents’ clothing.
