PIC Microcontroller: Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving Low Power Design (Part 1)

Before learning about low power consumption in PIC microcontrollers, let’s briefly go over some basic knowledge and concepts related to low power consumption. Power (Watts) = U (Volts) * I (Amperes) Energy (Joules) = U (Volts) * I (Amperes) * t (Seconds) Charge (Coulombs) = I (Amperes) * t (Seconds) Power consumption can be divided … Read more
