The GLF73510 IQSmart IC is designed to virtually eliminate wearable and IoT device battery discharge during standby or deep-sleep operation. The GLF73510 consumes an industry-leading ultra-low leakage current (ISD) of 2 nA (typ.), as much as 1,000 times less than other chips commonly used in this application. Applications for wearable and smaller IoT battery powered […]

Power management ICs feature single-inductor multiple-output buck-boost regulators for wearables and hearables
Designers of Bluetooth headphones, activity monitors, smart garments, smartwatches, and other size-constrained devices can now increase battery life and efficiency using the MAX77650 / MAX77651 power management ICs (PMICs) from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. Size is critical for hearables and wearables as they continue moving to smaller form factors. Most PMICs for these small, lithium-ion […]
Rechargeable pin-type and flexible lithium ion batteries a form fit for wearables
Panasonic Corporation will showcase its rechargeable Pin-type Lithium-ion battery (CG-320A, CG-425 and CG-435) as well as its Flexible Lithium-ion battery (CG-062939, CG-063555, and CG-064065) at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) January 5-8th, 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Panasonic Corporation will exhibit these two products in Panasonic booth #12908 in the Central Hall of the Las […]
The circuit protection connection for wearables and the IoT
by JAMES COLBY, Littelfuse Circuit protection technologies and board layout strategies help promote safety, reliability and connectivity. There’s one down-side to wearable technology that is unlikely to show up in headlines about the IoT: Human bodies generate static electricity as they move. That static electricity can potentially harm the sensitive electronics that power IoT applications. […]
