Getting Started
The Keysight X8712A IoT device battery life optimization solution combines a DC
power analyzer, source measure unit (SMU) and electronic load modules, RF
event detector, and KS833A1B Event-Based Power Analysis software in one
integrated solution, enabling you to:
–
Detect design weakness with quick and effortless event-based power
consumption analysis.
The X8712A automatically correlates critical RF or DC events of your device to
the power consumed, down to the sub-system or events level. This lets you
identify the events or subsystems that are consuming the most current and
optimize them accordingly to meet the battery life requirements.
–
Easily estimate battery life of your IoT device.
When measuring the power consumption at the sub-system level, the
KS833A1B Event-based Power Analysis software calculates the RF or DC
event's occupancy time and current consumption contribution in percentage
and presents the information in a tabular and chart format.
For homogenous signals, this allows you to easily obtain the estimated battery
life in hours, in a very short time. By specifying the battery capacity and the
time period to analyze, the KS833A1B will display the estimated battery life.
The battery life estimation function is useful as a figure of merit to compare
between different conditions. Designers can use this function to quantify
battery life enhancement for design optimization works.
