Improving Battery Life In Portable Electronics

摘要

Significant progress has been made to increase the efficiency of a portable device's power operation, specifically the optimization of RF circuit and digital ASIC/support logic power consumption. Designers are currently concentrating on power losses due to passive components that can negatively impact the system's overall power consumption. Passive components are now being optimized to reduce power consumption as well as improve battery life and reliability. Most recently, much effort has been focused on providing low-leakage components for DC conversion and burst-power applications.
