Extended battery life in portable devices with new low Iq LDO
https://www.electronics-lab.com/extended-battery-life-portable-devices-new-low-iq-ldo/
Extending battery life in portable devices up to four times longer than traditional ultra-low quiescent (Iq) LDOs, Microchip has announced a linear Low Dropout (LDO) regulator. With an ultra-low Iq of 250nA versus the approximate 1uA operation of traditional devices, the MCP1811 LDO reduces quiescent current to save battery life, enabling end-users to recharge or replace batteries less often.

uMesh – A self-contained, battery operated ESP32 module
https://www.electronics-lab.com/umesh-self-contained-battery-operated-esp32-module/
Jarrett published a new project. It is a battery powered ESP32 module. I’ve been working on an ESP32 module. Part of the problem I’ve been seeing with inexpensive IoT dev boards, is that the design around the power system hasn’t been very good. Here’s my attempt to fix that. This is a battery-ready module with […]
Using NXP’s NXQ1TXH5 Qi Charging Circuit
https://www.electronics-lab.com/using-nxps-nxq1txh5-qi-charging-circuit/
Adding wireless charging to furniture and other consumer goods is a nice way to add some oomph to an otherwise boring product. NXP’s NXQ1TXH5 provides an interesting, albeit difficult-to-prototype way around the problem. Creating a Qi-compatible is as easy as assembling the example circuit shown in figure one. From a technical point of view, the […]

NXP’s MMA8451QR1 Accelerometer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nxps-mma8451qr1-accelerometer/
Process computer designs usually start out with an accelerometer. As reliability problems creep in, making the switch to a more “professional” solution is beneficial. Accelerometers are based on the MEMS principle: instead of being a purely solid-state affair, the inside of the chip contains a micromechanical motion sensor along with a small mass. In addition […]
