ULTRA SMALL QUIESCENT CURRENT DC DC CONVERTERS FOR IOT AND WEARABLE DEVICES

ULTRA SMALL QUIESCENT CURRENT DC/DC CONVERTERS FOR IOT AND WEARABLE DEVICES

Ricoh Electronic Devices launched RP516 and RP517 series, buck (step-down) DC/DC converters featuring ultra-low output voltage (0.3 V to 1.2 V) and ultra-low quiescent current (typically 0.3 µA). The new converters are designed for IoT systems. As the IoT market expands, IoT devices with sensors, MCUs, communication ICs, etc. are required to correspond to low voltage to prolong the operating time of the […]
