Delivering optimal battery life while reducing power consumption, Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a highly integrated battery management solution presenting the industry’s lowest quiescent current (Iq) at 700-nA with the buck converter, operating at 1.8V.
 
The solution supports batteries from 3.6-V to 4.65-V, and fast charge currents from 5-mA to 300-mA, allowing wearables and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications to always be on without draining the battery. The solution’s 2.5-mm by 2.5-mm WCSP package enables a small footprint making it easier for designers to integrate it into sleek wearable designs.
