In recent years, smart locks have become an important entry point for smart homes, with the market size continuously expanding. Previously, products mainly featured a single function of “fingerprint + password”; however, as users’ demands for security and interactive experience continue to rise, smart locks are rapidly evolving towards a three-in-one form of “lock + … Read more
In scenarios such as traffic safety, emergency command, and construction warnings, high-brightness flashing warning lights play a crucial role as a visual warning method. Traditional warning lights often use simple timing circuits or low-performance microcontrollers, leading to issues such as insufficient brightness, high power consumption, and limited functionality. Shenzhen Sanfo Technology has proposed a control … Read more
Hello everyone, I am Architect Xiao En, here to explain the knowledge for the senior architect and system analyst examination in a fun way. Today, we will talk about the special forces — Embedded Operating Systems. If general-purpose operating systems (like Windows and Linux) are likened to “all-round warriors”, then embedded operating systems are like … Read more

Have you ever worked on low power consumption products? Low power products may seem simple, but to create a low power product, especially achieving ultra-low power consumption, is relatively more challenging. Today, we will discuss the approach to low power design in an RTOS environment. Preface: Programming Mindset The design of embedded products is diverse … Read more
The first thing to focus on when designing a chip is its PPA (Performance, Power, Area). This article discusses the second P, Power consumption, and how to achieve low power design in RTL, which is crucial for the battery life of mobile devices. Don’t let your chip unnecessarily increase power consumption. Data Path Register Sampling … Read more
