2025-10-13

With the rapid development of smart wearable devices and portable tools, battery life has become a core pain point in user experience. Are the increasing number of functional modules and high overall power consumption still limiting your product design? Does frequent charging reduce the practical value of your end devices?

China's leader in analog and digital, Awinic, introduces a breakthrough solution—the new generation of ultra-low power consumption, ultra-small size Buck-Boost chip is officially launched!

It not only redefines power management efficiency but also provides enduring and reliable energy support for wearable devices, portable tools, and various smart terminals with extreme energy consumption control and stable output. Whether the device is in standby, light load, or high load operation, it can maintain efficient operation with ultra-low power consumption, fully unleashing the product's battery life potential.



Product Advantages


Ultra-Low Quiescent Current, Exceptional Full-Range Efficiency: Ushering in a New Era of Efficient Energy Utilization


As portable electronic products continue to pursue longer battery life and smaller sizes, every joule of energy is crucial. Awinic's power management chips, specifically developed for low-power applications, deliver unprecedented energy efficiency with ultra-low quiescent current and exceptional efficiency, making them ideal for space- and power-sensitive devices.

Excellent Dynamic Response Characteristics: Key to Ensuring Accurate PPG Measurement


In smartwatches, blood oxygen and heart rate monitoring based on the Photoplethysmography (PPG) principle involves emitting light through LEDs to the skin and receiving reflected light signals via photodiodes. This process requires low-frequency LED flickering, and each activation causes a sudden current surge, which can lead to voltage drops and noise, directly affecting signal acquisition quality. If the power supply response is slow, the LED activation time must be extended to stabilize the signal, increasing power consumption and limiting battery life.


Therefore, the transient response speed and stability of the power supply circuit are critical to PPG performance. Awinic's AWP37701Z power management chip, with its excellent dynamic response capability, stabilizes the output voltage within 10μs after a load transient, effectively suppressing voltage fluctuations and noise, and significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of PPG signal acquisition. This chip provides solid power support for high-precision, low-power blood oxygen and heart rate monitoring in wearable devices.
