Mixed signals, on a power budget: Intelligent low-power analog in MCUs
It goes without saying that battery-powered devices are sensitive to power draw, especially during periods of inactivity. One such use case is in sensor nodes or portable sensors—these devices passively monitor a specific condition. When the threshold is exceeded, they trigger an alarm or log the event for further analysis. Since most devices incorporate some…

DC-DC Voltage Regulators For Low-Power Electronics Design
Mastering the limitations and applications of linear and switching regulators optimises design, ensuring efficiency, longevity, and reliable performance for PCBs. Voltage regulators are indispensable in electronics, providing stability and precision in power management for electrical circuits and hardware PCBs. These circuits convert one DC voltage to another with precision, making them indispensable in designing and…
