Demo of eXtreme Low Power (XLP) MCUs
As more electronic applications require low power or battery power, energy conservation becomes paramount. Today's applications must consume little power, and in extreme cases, last for up to 15-20 years, while running from a single battery. To enable applications like these, products with Microchip's nanoWatt XLP Technology offer the industry's lowest currents for Run and Sleep, where extreme low power applications spend 90%-99% of their time.
