At 75μW (68μA @ 1.1V) active power consumption, it claims to be the lowest power programmable sensor hub on the market.
Together with QuickLogic’s SenseMe algorithm library and reference designs, the ArcticLink 3 S2 LP enables designers to add more features and capabilities and extend the battery life of smartphone and wearable devices, the company says.
The device reduces the power requirements on the host system by almost 50% as compared to the standard S2, says QuickLogic, while consuming significantly less power than MCU-based sensor hub solutions.
“We’ve taken the lowest power programmable sensor hub in the industry, the ArcticLink 3 S2, and reduced its power consumption even further while maintaining pin-compatibility,” says QuickLogic’s Paul Karazuba.
