Broadcom’s BCM4389 chip is a client-side device supporting Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5 combo dedicated to mobile handset applications. The Wi-Fi 6E technology can operate on the 6 GHz band with 160MHz wide channels which is a progressive version of the Wi-Fi 6 technology. Hence, it enables speeds over 2 Gbps for faster communications than […]
Researchers Develop Long Range Backscatter Sensors That Consume Almost No Power
https://www.electronics-lab.com/university-washington-develops-long-range-backscatter-sensors-consumes-almost-no-power/
Researchers at the University of Washington developed a new backscatter sensors that can operate over long ranges with very little power. The researchers demonstrated for the first time that the device runs on almost zero power and can transmit data across distances of up to 2.8 kilometers. Backscatter communication works by emitting a radio signal and […]
SST26WF064C – Low-voltage 64-Megabit SuperFlash® Memory Device From Microchip
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sst26wf064c-low-voltage-64-megabit-superflash-memory-device-microchip/
Microchip introduced a new 64Mbit Serial Quad I/O™ memory device—SST26WF064C with proprietary SuperFlash® technology. The SST26WF064C writes with a single power supply of 1.65-1.95V and significantly lower power consumption. This makes it ideal for wireless, mobile, and battery-powered applications. This 64Mbit memory device also features DTR or Dual Transfer Rate technology. DTR lets the user access data of the chip […]
Renesas Electronics Achieves Lowest Embedded SRAM Power of 13.7 nW/Mbit

Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the successful development of a new low-power SRAM circuit technology that achieves a record ultra-low power consumption of 13.7 nW/Mbit in standby mode. The prototype SRAM also achieves a high-speed readout time of 1.8 ns during active operation. Renesas Electronics applied its 65nm node silicon on thin buried oxide (SOTB) process to develop this […]
Ultralow Power Transistors Function for Years Without Batteries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ultralow-power-transistors-function-years-without-batteries/
Researchers at Cambridge University have just achieved a spectacular breakthrough in electronics design. They have developed new ultralow power transistors that could function for months or even years without a battery. These transistors look for energy from the environment around, thus reducing the amount of power used. Dr Sungsik Lee, one of the researchers at […]
Whisper Trigger – An Ultra-low Power Voice Detector
https://www.electronics-lab.com/whisper-trigger-ultra-low-power-voice-detector/
For long period of time, we were using our muscles and bodies to control various machines. However, with the growth of technology, things became much easier. We moved to the use of keypads and buttons to get jobs done. Today, touchscreens have appeared and made everything very simple to use. But we did not get […]
Passive Wi-Fi – Bringing Low Power to Wi-Fi Transmissions
https://www.electronics-lab.com/passive-wi-fi-bringing-low-power-to-wi-fi-transmissions/
Bryce Kellogg, Vamsi Talla, Shyam Gollakota, Joshua R. Smith have published an research article discussing Passive Wi-Fi transmission that consumes 3 – 4 orders of magnitude lower power than existing Wi-Fi chipsets. Passive Wi-Fi transmissions can be decoded on any Wi-Fi device including routers, mobile phones and tablets. Building on this, we also present a […]
