The new DoE Level VI efficiency standard (DoE 10 CFR Part 430) mandates that no-load power consumption does not exceed 0.100W for external power supplies (EPSs) ranging from 1W to ≤49W, and does not ...

Today virtually every electronic device has a standby mode. Power consumption is regulated in most countries by increasingly stringent limits. This makes standardized power measurement essential. The ...

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 ...

For power-saving or battery-operated measurement applications, combining a SAR ADC and instrumentation amplifier offers a better solution than a sigma-delta ADC/PGA combo due to its lower power ...

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.

The plethora of smart home devices available today deliver all manner of opportunities, but it’s fair to say that interfacing with them is more often done in the browser or an app than in the terminal ...
