As a fabless semiconductor company Nanopower redefines low power for microelectronics, enabling large-scale and environmentally sustainable deployment of electronic devices and networks. We call the technology nPZero and it has performance and capabilities we have yet to see replicated by other solutions. Power saving is up to 90% in different operating modes, and nPZero can be combined with any wireless and sensor technology.
nPZero
The nPZero power-saving IC can operate the entire system without an active host, e.g., MCU, processor, or wireless SoC. It can take over the controller role and manage peripherals like sensors, and later hand the controller role back to the host based on user-configurable rules. This enables the power-hungry host to be completely shut down while keeping functions and responsiveness intact. As a true power manager, the peripherals’ power consumption is also optimized.
