  1. Low-Power Embedded Solutionsfor IoT Sensor NodesBy Alexis AlcottSr. Product Marketing Manager, MCU16 DivisionMicrochip Technology Inc.

  2. Internet-Enabled Applications IoT Sensor Node

  3. IoT Sensor NodesApplication Requirements • Low Power for Longest Possible Battery Life • Integrated Analog for Sensor Interface • Flexible Wireless Connection • Secure Data Transfer & Storage

  4. Low Power MCU

  5. MCU Run Power – 3 Factors Power Mode Clock Speed Program Flow

  6. MCU Power Modes RUN RAM Retention Mode DOZE IDLE SLEEP LV SLEEP DEEP SLEEP µA nA mA Core runs at slower speed, 25%-65% saved Core off, peripherals run 75% saved Core off, RAM on Most peripherals off Low V Regulator Enabled, 90% Savings Core off, RAM off Reset, peripherals off

  7. MCU Clock Speeds • Frequency • 32 MHz is 5 mA • 8 MHz is 1.3 mA • 1 MHz is 150 µA • 32 kHz is 26 µA Spans 256 Hz to 32 MHz, under software control!

  8. MCU Program Flow • Utilize peripherals that can operate while CPU is off (Idle) • ADC • Comparators • UART/SPI/I2C™ • PWMs • Timers

  9. Battery-Life EstimationWithout Power Modes • No Power modes • Battery life 47 days • Annoying! • Avg. Current 2.5 mA www.microchip.com/batterylifeestimator

  10. Adopt New Modes • Sleep during sensor acquisition • ADC runs in sleep • Use Idle mode when communicating to radio • UART active, shut down core & Flash • Sleep during radio transmission • No MCU activity required • Wait to ensure transmission successful • Deep Sleep rest of time • Use RTCC to wake up 1 sec. later

  11. Battery-Life EstimationWith Power Modes • With Power modes • Battery life is 1 year • 800% Increase! • Current Reduced 10X • Sleeping for 1 minute increases to 2 years

  12. Integrated Analog

  13. Integrated Analog Peripherals • Easy Interface to Sensors • Debugged noise and communication • Designer gets consistent analog performance across applications • Benefits of Integration • Faster data path, reduced noise • Intelligent connections inside the chip • Simplify board designs, reduce board space • Lower-cost designs, faster time to market

  14. Without Intelligent Analog ADC signal shielding increases board size Multiple power planes for analog & digital Complex routing for signals and shields Noise coupled from USB to ADC

  15. With Intelligent Analog Saved Board Area & Cost Saved Board Area & Cost Routing, shielding, power planes integrated & debugged in chip ADC, DAC, OpAmp, USB all integrated to MCU, lowers cost & space Design simplified, throughput increased

  16. PIC24 “GC” Family • 16-bit Sigma-Delta ADC • High dynamic range & high resolution • More information (3µV) eliminates need for amplifier • 12-bit ADC • Ultra-high-speed data capture at 10 Msps • High-speed sensors, touch, communications • 10-bit DACs • Analog control loops, stereo audio • Stimulus or thresholds • Operational Amplifiers • Analog control loops, Mic pre-amp, Signal conditioning • 2.5 MHz Gain-Bandwidth, low power mode • Internal Analog Connection Switch Matrix • 472-Segment LCD Driver with Voltage Boost

  17. Easy Prototyping – Add Your Sensor • On-Board Sensors • Light • Temperature • Touch • Analog Header • Clean Analog Signals • Plugs Into Breadboards • Rich Display • Connectivity • USB OTG, Host & Device • RF Module Footprint • Integrated Debugger PIC24F Intelligent Analog Starter Kit Part Number: DM240015

  18. Wireless Connection
