Nanopower is Heading to Hardware Pioneers Max 2026 in London

If you are designing battery-powered or energy harvested electronics, June is a date to put in your diary.

Nanopower Semiconductor will be attending Hardware Pioneers Max 2026 on 10–11 June at Excel London, one of the UK’s key events for electronics, embedded systems, semiconductors, power electronics, sensor technology, wireless innovation and connected product development. The event brings together engineering teams, technology innovators and product leaders working on the next generation of smart and connected devices.

At Nanopower, we work with engineering teams tackling one of the toughest challenges in hardware design: how to reduce power consumption without sacrificing functionality. Whether you are building wireless sensors, asset trackers, industrial monitoring nodes, smart building devices or energy-harvesting products, battery life is often the constraint that shapes the whole architecture.

That is exactly where Nanopower can help.

Our nPZero power-saving IC is designed for power-constrained sensor applications. It can autonomously manage up to four sensors, control power to the host MCU and peripherals, and wake the MCU only when needed. In practical terms, that means the system can spend far more time in an ultra-low-power state while still monitoring the world around it. Nanopower’s published device data lists 100 nA idle current and 1.0 µA polling current for the nPZero G1S, with support for I2C and SPI sensor interfaces.

For design engineers, the value is simple:
longer battery life, fewer maintenance events, and new possibilities for products that need to run for years or even operate from harvested energy. Nanopower’s own materials also describe energy savings of up to 90% in suitable sensor-system architectures.

If you are visiting Hardware Pioneers Max this June, come and meet the Nanopower team at Stand E9. We would love to talk about your design goals and your power budget challenges, whether you are early in concept development or already optimizing an existing platform.

Come by to explore:

  • how to extend battery operating life in sensor-based products
  • how to reduce always-on MCU overhead
  • how autonomous sensor handling can improve overall system efficiency
  • how ultra-low-power architecture can unlock new IoT and energy-harvesting designs

You can also ask us about the nPZero STAMP, which Nanopower now offers to support faster prototyping and evaluation.
