About XC9276 series

The XC9276 series greatly improves the efficiency below I_OUT=1mA through the current consumption of 200nA. Compared with traditional products, the efficiency of I_OUT=10μA is increased by more than 20%. In addition, the newly developed V_SET function is used to switch the
output voltage. By switching the 2-value output voltage, the XC9276 series reduces power consumption by 41.3% and increases battery life by 1.7 times compared with traditional products.

The award won this time is a recognition of the high energy saving potential of the XC9276 series. This product is expected to be active in products such as small IoT devices and wearable devices that are small and need to be driven for a long time.

Energy Saving of XC9276 Series

XC9276 series has the function of reducing IC current consumption and output voltage switching. Compared with conventional product, energy-saving performance is greatly improved.
