A few years back, I always used to wear a fitness tracker tracker to track my workouts, monitor my heart rate, and stay connected on the go. However, there was one persistent problem that dampened my experience: the more features it had, the shorter the battery life. Despite its impressive features, it felt like I spent more time charging my device than wearing it. I’m not the only one with this issue, which is why I want to share more about Infineon SEMPER™ Nano NOR Flash memory and how it can help solve battery life issues in wearable electronics.
Infineon's SEMPER™ Nano NOR Flash memory is a game-changer for designers of wearable devices. This tiny, low-power memory solution is perfect for use in applications where size and battery life are critical considerations. Let us go ahead and explore the remarkable features of this tiny nonvolatile memory and discover why it is the perfect choice for ultracompact wearables that need maximum battery life.
Size benefits
One of the main benefits of the SEMPER™ Nano NOR Flash memory product is its small size. At just 3.356 mm x 3.965 mm in an ultrathin WLCSP package, this memory solution can easily be integrated into ultra-compact wearable designs, making it ideal for use in earbuds, smartwatches, fitness trackers, and other categories where space is at a premium.
Power consumption
In addition to its small size, the SEMPER™ Nano enables longer battery life through low power consumption. It consumes just 17 mA of current during reading at 80 MHz and only 29 mA during program operations. In standby mode, it only consumes 5 µA, while deep power down (DPD) mode enables an energy-sipping 1 µA current draw. Furthermore, SEMPER™ Nano devices are also extremely reliable, with built-in ECC and up to 100,000 program/erase cycles.
Overall, the SEMPER™ Nano NOR Flash is a great choice for designers of wearable devices.
Key benefits:
- small size
- low power consumption
- high reliability
- a perfect fit for a wide range of consumer applications
Infineon's SEMPER™ Nano NOR Flash memory offers designers a remarkable combination of compact size, power efficiency, and reliability. With its numerous benefits and wide range of applications, SEMPER™ Nano is the ideal choice for wearables that require the demanding combination of smaller form factor, longer battery life, and trusted reliability.
