Review: Optimizing IoT battery life with the Otii
A handy gadget for analyzing current consumption helps shed light on how internet-of-things appliances can be optimized for energy efficiency. The Otii, from the Qiotech group in Sony Mobile Communications, is one of those ideas that seems obvious only after you’ve seen it. It targets developers who must minimize the current drain from batteries, a […]
Low-power Arm Cortex-M4 processors carry large embedded memories
Designers of internet of things (IoT) sensors, environmental sensors, smartwatches, medical/preventive health wearables, and other size-constrained devices can now increase battery life and functionality using the ultra-low power MAX32660 and MAX32652 microcontrollers from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. These microcontrollers (MCUs) are based on the Arm Cortex-M4 processors and provide designers the means to develop advanced applications under restrictive power constraints. […]
