  • The Si446x transceivers achieve a 50 nA sleep/standby current with register retention, consuming 75 percent less current in sleep mode than competing solutions.

    unknown title 2012

  • The AVR UC3 L Series consumes down to 165 µA/MHz in active mode, down to 600 nA with RTC running, and down to 9 nA in deep-sleep mode. picoPower devices offer true 1.62V operation, allowing all analog modules, oscillators and Flash to be fully functional without compromise at 1.62V.
