Under the trend of Internet of Everything, the development of the low-power wireless market continues to rise, and the compound annual growth rate has remained above 10% for many years. It is estimated that by 2023, the number of specific application terminals will reach billions. In recent years, the demand for wireless terminal equipment such as photovoltaic energy, contactless terminals, and wearable tracking devices has been strong, and the requirements for processing capacity, function, safety positioning, and direction-finding functions of upstream products and equipment have gradually increased. This also means that chip suppliers need to maintain low-power operation and extend the battery life of products while maintaining performance.
As the only company on the market that can combine ultra-low-power technology with energy harvesting technology, Atmosic has three core technologies and continues to innovate and iterate on this basis to expand the existing product portfolio. According to Srivas Pattamatta, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Atmosic, the ultra-low-power technology is the exclusive patent of Mousse Technology and does not use the licensed technology of any other third-party organization. Through the complementary combination of ultra-low-power technology and energy harvesting technology, the power consumption of THEM2 and ATM3 of the first generation of Mousi Technology is very low, which can ensure that the product runs at ultra-low power consumption, the battery life can be extended by 3-5 times, and even in some cases, the battery limit can be completely removed.
At the system level, Mousse has technologies and functions such as no MCU-aware operation and on-demand wake-up of RF signals. With these two technologies, "the sensor can write all the data directly to the Bluetooth chip without waking up the entire chip, resulting in significant power savings." At the same time, all modules of the chip can enter sleep mode, and only special packets will be awakened. ”
With the gradual development and maturity of the low-power wireless market, Mousi Technology has further iterated and extended its technologies and products, and gradually been widely used in more fields such as home smart device sensors, blood glucose detectors, wearable devices and direction finding devices. The new generation of Bluetooth 5.2 high-performance SoC product ATM33 further leverages the capabilities of Bluetooth low energy and energy harvesting technology, greatly extending battery life. Based on ATM2 and ATM3, the ATM33 series comprehensively improves processing power and adopts embedded non-volatile memory (NVM). At the same time, the product supports ARM TrustZone technology, including secure boot, safe debugging, secure OTA, etc., which greatly improves the security performance of the whole system. On the basis of the previous generation of products supporting Bluetooth 5.1, the ATM33 series is extended to support Bluetooth LE 5.1/5.2/5.3, which can cover a higher range and achieve better wall-piercing effects.
According to Srinvas Pattamatta, in the field of ultra-low-power technology and energy harvesting, the ATM33 series of products has further enhanced the sensor Hub processing power through continuous innovation to add new technologies and functions, and can operate and directly send BLE packets without an MCU, increasing the transmission power. In addition, the series supports AoA and AoD indoor positioning technology, which enhances the performance of photovoltaic and RF energy harvesters and expands the range of RF energy receiving. Srinvas Pattamatta said that in the fields of medical and health devices, wearable devices, game controller devices, home automation devices, etc., ATM33 is the best choice to reduce power consumption, extend battery life, and achieve permanent battery life.
"Edge and end markets are growing rapidly, and the demand for battery-powered connected devices is the largest growing of all kinds of applications," said Srinvas Pattamatta. "These devices have two main features, battery-powered or power-cord-powered, and wireless data connectivity." This coincides with the field of Mousi Technology's long-term layout. Focusing on the field of long-life wireless batteries and wireless battery edge devices, Mousi Technology integrates multiple technical paths at the chip design level, including the use of low-voltage transistors, the refinement of bluetooth chips, and the optimization of module signal transmission voltage to achieve low power consumption at the design level to achieve permanent endurance.
For a long time, Mousi Technology has led technological progress with innovation, and has continued to exert efforts to apply ultra-low-power technology and energy harvesting technology. Srinvas Pattamatta said that in 2022, Mousi Technology will further grow and expand in performance and markets.
