Standby power refers to the electric power consumed by electronic appliances while they are switched off or in a standby mode – but still connected and still drawing power. Fundamentally, standby ...

ABB Robotics said new energy consumption measurement will allow end users to make more informed decisions and support sustainability efforts.

Most seasoned embedded designers are aware that many of the techniques listed in Part 1 can be addressed in the operating system instead of having the design team “reinvent the wheel” with each new ...

Jetperch has releases a second generation of its Joulescope precision power consumption measurement instrument. Called JS220, it has a huge dynamic range: ±3A max (10A peak) with 500pA resolution over ...

Need to do some real fine power consumption measurements? [Gero Müller] was in that exact situation, and wasn’t happy with the expensive off-the-shelf tools for doing the job. Thus, he built his own.

Designers frequently turn to advanced power reduction techniques such as power shutoff (PSO) and multi-supply-voltage (MSV) architectures to help reach power consumption targets in advanced technology ...

Debuting as a team, the MCP3909 energy-measurement IC and 3-phase energy-meter reference design forecast faster development times for power-meter applications. The chip integrates 16-bit delta-sigma a ...
