Power supply configuration diagram for IoT devices

Power supply configuration example for IoT devices composed of power management IC with ultra-low supply current, low noise, and low electromotive force.

Configuration example

Product Name Function IQ IOUT VIN
R1800 Low Quiescent Current Buck DC/DC Converter for Energy Harvester 144 nA 1 mA 2.0 V to 5.5 V
RP511 Low Quiescent Current Buck DC/DC Converter with Synchronous Rectifier 300 nA 100 mA 2.0 V to 5.5 V
RP512 Low Quiescent Current Buck DC/DC Converter with Synchronous Rectifier 300 nA 300 mA 2.0 V to 5.5 V
RP604 Low Quiescent Current Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter with Synchronous Rectifier 300 nA 300 mA 1.8 V to 5.5 V
RP118 Low Supply Current Voltage Regulator (LDO Regulator) 200 nA 100 mA 1.7 V to 5.5 V

IQ: Operating Quiescent Current

The total of all supply current of our products including R1800, RP604, RP511/RP512, and RP118 comes to 944 nA.
It is equivalent to about 240 years* of battery life calculated from the AA battery capacity.

* Theoretical calculation value
