How to extend battery life with low quiescent current technologies

Quiescent current, or IQ for short, is a critical power trend that impacts a growing number of battery-powered end equipments. IQ, or the amount of current when your IC is in a no-load or non-switching state, can come with tradeoff decisions. Luckily, power designers can rest assured that meeting current requirements can be accomplished while improving transient times or reducing overall form factor.

Shutdown current. Non-switching current. No-load input current. What do these three things have in common? You’re likely to encounter them in a power management IC datasheet. Watch this quick video to understand some of the differences between key parameters you’ll need to address for your low-IQ designs.
