Power chip’s ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in MCU-based systems
DALLAS (July 15, 2013) – Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced a multi-mode power management unit (PMU) that enables ultra-low, total system quiescent current as low as 100 nA, which minimizes power consumption in battery-powered, microcontroller-based water and gas meters and other industrial applications. The TPS65290 PMU manages all power requirements in the system, including load conditions from 100 nA to 500 mA. To order free samples, visit:www.ti.com/tps65290-pr.
The TPS65290 PMU incorporates three factory configurable “always-on” power supplies for microcontroller (MCU) sleep mode and an automatic … Read More → "Power chip’s ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in MCU-based systems"
