Energy Saving Under New Management

摘要

When a battery needs to support a product during many years or even decades of operation, incremental improvements in MCU integration and minor tweaks to basic processor architecture are insufficient to achieve the dramatic hikes in energy efficiency that are required. For a host of energy sensitive products in sectors such as metering, building automation, security and portable medical equipment, more wholesale advances in MCU design are needed if the often conflicting demands of energy efficiency and processing power are to be met.
