Efficiency is an assessment of how well time and effort are used to accomplish a specific task. If that task is the conversion of one form of power to another, the efficiency of the conversion ...

Designers often need to measure and manage power consumption of low-voltage, high-power ICs such as FPGAs and GPUs to manage performance or anticipate problems. But this simple-sounding task has some ...

CHANDLER, Ariz., Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Battery-operated devices and energy-restricted applications must track and monitor power consumption without wasting power in the process. To solve ...

The world is about to be deluged by artificial intelligence software that could be inside of a sticker stuck to a lamppost. What's called TinyML, a broad movement to write machine learning forms of AI ...

Most seasoned embedded designers are aware that many of the techniques listed in Part 1 can be addressed in the operating system instead of having the design team “reinvent the wheel” with each new ...

Need to do some real fine power consumption measurements? [Gero Müller] was in that exact situation, and wasn’t happy with the expensive off-the-shelf tools for doing the job. Thus, he built his own.

Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern oscilloscopes are ...
