Microchip Technology has introduced the PAC1711 and PAC1811 digital power monitors for battery-operated and energy-constrained systems that need continuous power measurement with minimal measurement overhead. Microchip states the devices consume about half the power of comparable solutions under typical operating conditions at a 1024 samples-per-second rate, while providing alert functions to reduce how often a […]
Energy Harvesting
SoCs designed to enable battery-free IoT devices
Silicon Labs has announced a new family of wireless system-on-chip (SoC) products called the xG22E. This new SoC family is designed to operate within the ultra-low power requirements of battery-free, energy harvesting applications. The xG22E family consists of three SoCs: the BG22E, MG22E, and FG22E. These are described as Silicon Labs’ most energy-efficient SoCs to […]
