Overview

• Critical needs of low power applications
• nanoWatt XLP Technology Introduction
• Power-Down modes
• Active power consumption
• Live / Video Demonstration
• New products tools
• Summary

Low Power Trends

• Our Customers continue to demand lower power
  products
• Continued growth in battery applications
• Green Initiatives - Increasing regulations to
  lower energy consumption
• Energy Harvesting in early stages
• Broad base of applications

4
Typical Application Profile

• Long battery life required
• 20 years in some cases
• Must be robust reliable
• Often regulations demand it
• Example - Must detect dying battery, provide
  warning signals to alert resident and perform
  safe shutdown
• Must ensure consistent operation
• Must periodically perform specific tasks
• Example - Smoke Detectors sample air quality once
  every N seconds

What is nanoWatt XLP Technology?

• The New Industry Standard for Low Power Low
  Current, combining

• Why it Matters!
• Example PIC24F16KA102
• Battery life of 20 years desired
• Must be robust and reliable
• Must regularly sample air quality

Energy Consumption in Active Mode

• Factors affecting Energy Consumption
• Run/Dynamic Current, IDD
• Influenced by process technology, architecture,
  among other factors etc.
• Execution Time
• Voltage
• Energy Consumption Execution Time x Active
  Current x Voltage
• Faster execution means less time staying awake
• Potentially lower Active Power
• Factors affecting execution time
• Single-Cycle Instructions
• Instruction Set Architecture
• Clock Frequency
