Actuators are the moving part of a device that controls the mechanism of a system. A simple example of an actuator is the opening of a valve. With this simple example of a solenoidal valve, we can understand that an actuator (or, in other words, a part that performs a movement in a specific direction) needs […]
As a maker, you may have come across various IoT temperature and humidity monitors with low-power consumption. Canique Climat is a unique sensor that features ultra-low power consumption of only 2.5uA when powered by a 1.25V battery. The latest revision offers: reduced quiescent current from 9.5µA to 2.5µA (@ 1.25V) reduced ripple voltage during RX to 4.5mV (@ 1.25V)
