Designing Embedded Systems for Low Power and Battery Power Operation

The number of embedded devices that have to operate with battery power or parasitic power continues to grow. There are many approaches for designing these systems, some of which are much more effective than others. In this DevCon 2008 session, the best techniques for obtaining significant system power reductions are discussed and practical examples are presented. Topics include processor selection, clock selection and control, low power I/O, dealing with current leakage, current sneak paths, calculating battery life, power supply design and selection, and sleep/wakeup issues.
