Longer battery life for hearables and wearables
Single-inductor, multiple-output circuitry can provide the kind of high conversion efficiency necessary for super-small consumer electronics. Cary Delano, Reno Rossetti | Maxim Integrated When you’re designing hearables and wearables, user experience dictates that long battery life is a key requirement. Nobody wants to stop and recharge the batteries on their earbuds during a long walk […]
Low-power MPU hits 150 DMIPS for handling consumer fitness, smart medical device apps
The new STM32L4+ devices – a new generation of the STM32L4 series that stretches performance to 150DMIPS (233 ULPMark-CP) at 120MHz – can act as the central controller in a full range of fitness bands, smart watches, small medical equipment, smart meters, smart industrial sensors and more. All these applications require sophisticated functions, instant responses, and minimal downtime for battery […]
Miniature water-resistant pressure sensors target wearable apps
STMicroelectronics has taken underwater accuracy to new heights with its latest miniature pressure sensor, which is featured in the new Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro. As smart watches and wearable fitness trackers permeate the fabric of everyday life, owners want to go further with their devices and track performance across extra activities like swimming. Samsung’s Gear […]
SiP for wearables includes NFC, antenna for extended secure payment features
As consumers become increasingly comfortable with making secure transactions using their smart devices, traditional card manufacturers want to extend their offers into contactless wearable products for uses such as payments, ticketing, and access control. These can be difficult to implement within tight size and cost constraints, because conventional separate NFC-radio and security chips demand extra […]

PODCAST Dr. Marie Johnson: Innovator for and from the heart
It’s called the widow maker for a reason as Dr. Marie Johnson experienced when her 41-year old, seemingly healthy husband died suddenly from Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) — the number one killer among both men and women. And predicting a heart attack using standard risk factors is generally insufficient. Learn how Dr. Johnson went from […]
Proof of Concept and beyond: success stories in DFM
Reducing product development time and improving product quality while realizing costs savings no longer has to be a designer’s dream — or nightmare. Automation and the emergence of innovated and sophisticated CAD tools are helping to enable the type of rapid innovation needed to keep up with market demands in industries ranging from robotics, to […]
