3 key points to achieve ultra-low power consumption in wearable design

Are you looking forward to developing wearable devices like watches, oximeters or blood pressure monitors? The small size and advanced features required for smart watches present two basic challenges for system designers: How do you fit everything you need into a defined package? How do you power your device?

There are three solutions for ultra-low power operation in wearable electronics:

1. Run as much as possible in standby mode

The key to achieving long battery life is to minimize current consumption during operation by reducing unnecessary system activity. This means that in addition to turning off certain functions, it also runs in the sleep or standby mode of the microcontroller and the power save mode of the power supply. For example, when the user does not look at his (or her) watch, the display of the watch is turned off. Or when the SimpleLinkTM Bluetooth® Low Energy CC2541 Wireless Microcontroller (MCU) can run only through the sleep timer instead of Timer 1, the supply current is reduced from approximately 90μA to only 0.6μA – a power saving of over 99%! In addition, any background tasks must be driven by interrupts within the code. This way, the microcontroller can run in sleep mode as much as possible, only when it interrupts the command.

2. Minimize current consumption in standby mode

A key technology driver is to reduce the current drawn in these standby modes. For example, the MSP430F59xx (FRAM) microcontroller with EnergyTrace++TM technology consumes only 450nA in standby mode, thanks to its extremely low leakage FRAM memory. If you use the TPS82740A to power the microcontroller, the current drawn from a single-cell Li-Ion battery is only about 750nA, even if the microcontroller is slightly leaking when you supply power. In this case, the 360nA quiescent current (IQ) and the DCS-Control topology combine to achieve such low standby power consumption. If your current consumption is really low, you must have a load switch to disconnect the subsystems that are turned off (depending on their supply voltage) to prevent them from leaking current from the system.

3. Integrate to save valuable printed circuit board (PCB) space

Since you have reduced power consumption to a reasonable level, the battery does not need to be recharged every day. The second problem is the space problem - where do you plan to put all the devices (microcontrollers, sensors, power supplies, batteries, etc.)? For this challenge, the integration method can help you a lot. The TPS82740A is a MicroSIP device that integrates all the necessary passive components and a load switch! This is less than 75% smaller than the discrete TPS62740 type implementation with the same ultra low power performance (optimized). In addition, the MSP430F59xx integrates features such as temperature sensor functionality, differential input analog-to-digital converter capability, 8-to-1 multiplexer LCD display driver capability, and 256-bit encryption. Just add a battery and some other system-specific sensors, and you're basically done!

Run in standby mode, minimize current consumption in standby mode, and integrate to save board space – these three methods will make your next wearable design a success. What other methods can save power in a wearable design?
