The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) is extremely rapid, with billions of devices emerging every year. These devices serve various purposes and utilize a range of wireless technologies from RFID to wide area networks.
Battery life is a critical factor in determining the success of many IoT applications; beyond economic impacts, long battery life is also an important condition for ensuring health and safety.
Designing IoT Devices with Long Battery Life
requires understanding 3 key factors
①
How much energy is consumed during a typical operating cycle?
②
What events consume battery power?
③
How long does the device consume power in various states and activities?
Keysight X8712A has powerful functions and features
can quickly estimate battery life
and gain deep insights into how devices consume battery power
helping engineers quickly tackle the three key factors
Keysight X8712A
X8712A helps determine the total power consumption of devices by combining the powerful Keysight X8712A-DPA DC power analyzer and its X8712A-SMU battery consumption analysis power measurement unit (SMU) module with KS833A1A event-based power analysis software. It can capture RF and/or DC events from IoT devices, synchronize the events with current consumption, and estimate device battery life.

Battery-powered IoT devices typically include the following states and activities during a typical operating cycle: sleep, wake, perform basic tasks (sensing, measuring, edge computing), communicate with their base stations or peer nodes, and finally return to sleep mode. The Keysight X8712A IoT device battery life optimization solution can measure the power consumed during these cycles.
RF activity and current waveforms of IoT devices measured by Keysight X8712A
The X8712A solution includes Keysight’s event-based power analysis software, which analyzes battery consumption based on RF events and changes within the device’s sub-circuits. It helps engineers understand the battery life of devices.
IoT device activity periods divided based on RF (green) and smoothed current (brown) waveforms
The same event-based power analysis software can segment current waveforms and generate power consumption, as well as generate two additional graphs that clearly show how your IoT device allocates time. Keysight X8712A can help you determine which parts of your product design need optimization to reduce power consumption.
