PRESSEMITTEILUNGEN

Neu-Isenburg (ots) – Recent developments of microcontroller manufacturers have produced remarkable series of Ultra Low Power Microcontrollers that are optimized for operation from a battery in a portable system. Additional energy saving can be achieved with implementation of stand-by operation with reduced oscillation frequency, prevalent 32 KHz clock frequency. It permits intermitting operation with full nominal frequency in normal operation and the significantly lower 32 KHz stand-by frequency, sufficient to run Watch-Dog-Timer (WDT), Real-Time-Clocks (RTC) and similar equipment, with current requirements of only 0.7microA or even less. This permits long battery life times, up to years. The target for power reduction during stand-by (
