Low Power Design of MCUs (Part 3) Products

Author:RimeLink Source: http://blog.csdn.net/jiangjunjie_2005/article/details/47700597 Introduction: Power consumption is a significant issue for battery-powered products; once the energy is depleted, the device will “stop working.” In “Low Power Design of MCUs (Part 1) Theory,” we introduced the principles of energy saving; in “Low Power Design of MCUs (Part 2) Practice,” we measured the low power consumption values … Read more

A Simple Written Test Question on Low Power Design

A Simple Written Test Question on Low Power Design

1. Concept Composition of Power Consumption: Three main sources of power consumption: surge, static power, and dynamic power; Surge Current: Refers to the maximum instantaneous input current generated when the device is powered on, known as the inrush current; The surge current is device-dependent; Surge power is not our primary concern, so it is only … Read more

Low Power Design Handbook – Introduction

Low Power Design Handbook - Introduction

1.1 Overview Over the past two decades, the design of complex chips has undergone a series of transformations. In the 1980s, language-based circuit design and synthesis emerged. In the 1990s, design reuse and IP became mainstream design practices. In recent years, low power design has begun to change the way designers handle complex SoC designs … Read more

Understanding ECUs: How Much Do You Know?

Understanding ECUs: How Much Do You Know?

The ECU, or Electronic Control Unit, can be understood as the vehicle’s computer. It is a microcomputer controller specifically designed for automobiles, consisting of a microprocessor (CPU), memory (ROM, RAM), input/output interfaces (I/O), analog-to-digital converters (A/D), and large-scale integrated circuits for shaping and driving. The working principle of the ECU is to collect various operational … Read more
