What Are the Best Applications  for IoT in the New World of IC  Power Management?

This article explores Internet of Things (IoT) battery technology. It describes some of the problems that designers face with power sourcing and provides solutions from Analog Devices. These solutions are highly efficient and can help curb other problems in your IoT devices, including size, weight, and temperature. With the growing use of IoT devices in industrial equipment, home automation, and medical applications, there is increasing pressure to optimize the power management portion of these devices—either through smaller form factor, better efficiency, improved current consumption, or faster charging times (for portable IoT devices). All of this must be achieved in a small form factor that does not negatively impact thermals nor interfere with the wireless communication implemented by these devices.
