DESCRIPTION:Minimizing Iq is a key factor in managing battery life and enab
 ling energy harvesting solutions. An Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensor node 
 is one of the best examples of why it's important to minimize Iq. Because 
 these types of systems spend the majority of their time (>99%) in standby 
 mode\, the Iq in standby mode tends to be the limiting factor for battery 
 life and utilizing energy harvesting techniques. Careful optimization of l
 ow-Iq power management blocks makes it possible to extend battery life fro
 m two years to more than ten years. Recent breakthroughs have been achieve
 d in reducing Iq <60nA for power management building blocks such as DC/DC 
 converters\, power switches\, low-dropout regulators (LDOs) and supervisor
 s without the classical trade-offs . More importantly\, this presentation 
 will highlight some of the pitfalls to avoid and remaining challenges on t
 he journey to achieving lower Iq.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Keith Kunz\n\nVirtual:

 battery life and enabling energy harvesting solutions. An Internet-of-Thin
 gs (IoT) sensor node is one of the best examples of why it's important to 
 minimize Iq. Because these types of systems spend the majority of their ti
 me (&gt\;99%) in standby mode\, the Iq in standby mode tends to be the lim
 iting factor for battery life and utilizing energy harvesting techniques. 
 Careful optimization of low-Iq power management blocks makes it possible t
 o extend battery life from two years to more than ten years. Recent breakt
 hroughs have been achieved in reducing Iq &lt\;60nA for power management b
 uilding blocks such as DC/DC converters\, power switches\, low-dropout reg
 ulators (LDOs) and supervisors without the classical trade-offs . More imp
 ortantly\, this presentation will highlight some of the pitfalls to avoid 
 and remaining challenges on the journey to achieving lower Iq.</p>
