New Circuit Design Techniques

New circuit design techniques that are unique to


nanoWatt Technology include brown-out and low
voltage detect, which allow for operation in harsh
environments. Additionally, the ability to manage
multiple clock sources enables users to control the
embedded system’s power consumption and adapt it
to changes to ensure failsafe operation and uncom-
promising performance from DC to 40 MHz opera-
tion.
