Advanced power management including fast and flexible power cycling of sensors, reducing power consumption in active modes. ## Subthreshold IC design In current designs, transistors operate in a region that requires currents in the order of microamps. We design our entire integrated circuit to operate in the subthreshold region, which enables us to reduce the power consumption by a factor of 1,000. ## A smart power manager nPZero functions as an advanced power management hub for any system’s wireless chip, processor, sensors, and other peripherals. Our IC manages power-hungry microcontrollers, sensors, and radios, bringing them back online only when needed. All critical functions of the IoT device remain intact while adding low-power capabilities. ## Proven performance Our performance is proven on silicon and verified with high precision instruments. ![nPZero IPMIC\_Intelligent Power Management Integrated Circuit](https://nanopowersemi.com/hubfs/nPZero%20IPMIC_Intelligent%20Power%20Management%20Integrated%20Circuit.png "nPZero IPMIC_Intelligent Power Management Integrated Circuit") ## Compatible with any wireless technology, microcontroller, or sensor nPZero is technology agnostic and can function as a power management hub for any host, and I2C and SPI peripherals through an extremely flexible structure. All functions of the host and peripherals are kept intact while adding low-power capabilities. The system is also open for integration with any back-end provider. ## Enables harvesting more energy than you ever thought possible, never running out of power Completely new opportunities arise with a power consumption low enough to enable net positive contribution from energy harvesting.  [![L nanopower - semiconductor white+PMS638](https://nanopowersemi.com/hs-fs/hubfs/L%20nanopower%20-%20semiconductor%20white+PMS638.png?width=2127&height=380&name=L%20nanopower%20-%20semiconductor%20white+PMS638.png "L nanopower - semiconductor white+PMS638")](https://nanopowersemi.com/?hsLang=en) Phone: +47 98 90 20 50 [info@nanopowersemi.com](mailto:info@nanopowersemi.com) [PRIVACY](https://nanopowersemi.com/privacy-and-cookies?hsLang=en) [MEDIA KIT](https://nanopowersemi.com/media-kit?hsLang=en) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/nanopower-as/) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.youtube.com/@nanopowersemiconductor) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/nanopowersemiconductor/) ![EIC-logo-CoFundedBy-WhiteText\_EN2](https://nanopowersemi.com/hs-fs/hubfs/EIC-logo-CoFundedBy-WhiteText_EN2.png?width=2000&height=325&name=EIC-logo-CoFundedBy-WhiteText_EN2.png "EIC-logo-CoFundedBy-WhiteText_EN2") ![Bærekraftssirkler-02](https://nanopowersemi.com/hubfs/B%C3%A6rekraftssirkler-02.svg "Bærekraftssirkler-02") ![iso9001-color](https://nanopowersemi.com/hubfs/iso9001-color.svg "iso9001-color") Copyright © 2026 | All Rights Reserved | Nanopower Semiconductor
