ESP8266: Monitoring Power Consumption
Posted on: 13 Jun 2018
In this post I’m going to show you how you can monitor the power consumption of your battery driven (ESP8266/ ESP32) device. Measuring the power consumption over a full activity/ sleep cycle is the precondition to optimize your code for a longer battery runtime. Only with a reliable tool you can decide which code changes […]
How to make precision measurements on a nanopower budget, part 1: DC gain in nanopower op amps
Posted on: 13 Jun 2018
Heightened accuracy and speed in an operational amplifier (op amp) has a direct relationship with the magnitude of its power consumption. Decreasing the current consumption decreases the gain bandwidth; conversely, decreasing the offset voltage increases the current consumption. Many such interactions between op amp electrical characteristics influence one another. With the increasing need for low power consumption […]

USB Adaptive Charger (2.7A per port) with Wattmeter
Posted on: 12 Jun 2018
STORY Why: We built the Pirl Charger because we were unhappy with the quality of existing chargers. Few consumers know they gradually ruin their expensive devices by using poor quality chargers that deliver high noise, high ripple energy. Every consumer device comes with a charger, and those are usually well-built, but they usually have only […]
