Microcontroller Series Enables Longer Battery Life in IoT Applications without Sacrificing Security and Reliability

摘要

Analog Devices, Inc. has announced its ADuCM302x series of ultra-low power microcontrollers designed to enable longer battery life and lower operating costs in Internet of Things (IoT) applications without sacrificing security and reliability functions. Consuming less than 38 uA/MHz of current in active mode and less than 750 nA in standby mode, the ADuCM302x microcontrollers enable longer operation between battery replacements or recharging, providing a better enduser experience and lower maintenance cost. This efficiency can also reduce costs for device makers by decreasing the number and size of batteries required, and enables new applications where battery replacement is impractical. While alternatives on the market often sacrifice key functionality to achieve efficiency benchmarks, the ADuCM302x series maintains a full suite of reliability and safety functions. Serving as the brain of a connected solution, these microcontrollers represent Analog Devices’ focus on delivering system-level solutions for the IoT, and enabling intelligent decision-making closer to the sensor. They complement ADI’s broad portfolio of compatible sensing and wireless communication technologies, and will be supported by software and hardware development tools to help integrators optimize solutions for their unique application needs.
