Extend battery life and add USB-C charging with the nPM1300
Up to 4x battery life: The benefits of assisted GPS in asset tracking

eBook Overview

In the ‘Beyond Batteries’ eBook, it explores energy-efficient solutions for IoT sensors, benefitting maintenance engineers and future generations. It also highlights that photovoltaic (PV) cells are a sustainable power source and discusses the growing need for efficient power management as billions of IoT sensors are deployed globally.

Find out how Nordic Semiconductor have introduced innovations like the nRF Cloud CoAP interface, which lowers power consumption in cellular IoT devices, and the nPM1300 power management IC (PMIC), which extends battery life and supports USB-C charging. By offloading power regulation, the PMIC enhances efficiency while integrating essential system management features.

The eBook also covers assisted GPS (A-GPS), which reduces power consumption by downloading satellite data via LTE instead of satellites. Tests show A-GPS extends battery life by up to four times, making it ideal for long-term asset tracking. These advancements drive a more sustainable future for IoT technology.
