How to Maximize the Battery Life of Your Portable IoT Devices
Application Notes
This application note describes how to use the Keysight X8712A IoT device battery life optimization test solution to quickly detect design weaknesses and estimate the battery life of an IoT device. We will also explain how to perform contactless signaling control of the device under test (DUT) and put the DUT into various operation modes to validate the battery life performance under many real-world operation conditions.
The X8712A solution includes a software suite that simplifies measurement setup and allows users to easily control and set up instrument settings. Users can easily perform event-based power analysis to understand what RF and subcircuit events are causing battery charge consumption. This will help users make hardware and firmware changes that will optimize your battery’s runtime.
