Nanopower is excited to share insights from our recent interview with ipXchange, where we introduced the groundbreaking nPZero power-saving IC. This innovative IC is set to revolutionize ultra-low-power designs, especially those powered by harvested energy.
Watch our interview with ipXchange to learn more about how the nPZero can transform your low-power designs.
The nPZero operates with an ultra-low current consumption in the nanowatt region. It functions similarly to a microcontroller, managing peripherals and regulating power to the system, thus saving significant energy by turning off unused devices. It can work standalone or alongside a more powerful host device, activating it only when necessary to reduce overall power consumption.
William from Nanopower highlighted the nPZero’s potential in various 24-7 applications, including medical implants, building automation sensors, and agricultural monitors. These applications can operate without a battery, leveraging harvested energy and eliminating maintenance needs over the product's lifetime.
Nanopower provides an evaluation platform for the nPZero, featuring Arduino and PMOD headers for easy testing. This allows you to integrate and test the nPZero in your system before finalizing your design.
Nanopower development is part-funded through EU’s European Innovation Council.
