Battery and IC Products Enable Portable Consumer-Electronic Devices

摘要

In the world of portable consumer-electronic devices, manufacturers are faced with a challenging prospect - creating physi-cally smaller devices that have enhanced performance while maintaining or extending operating battery life. These require-ments have rippled throughout the entire elec-tronics industry, forcing battery and Integrated Circuit (IC) manufacturers to constantly push the boundaries of technology. Innovative Use of Battery Chemistries Battery manufacturers continue to innovate with the use of various battery chemistries, in order to provide more energy density in smaller, lighterweight battery cells. IC manufactur-ers are addressing these market demands in a variety of ways, including lower operating volt-age, higher efficiency and the use of power-sav-ing modes.
