NEW ENERGY-SAVING TECHNOLOGY increase battery life 4 TIMES
National Semiconductor Corporation and ARM introduced a new technology to 4 times longer battery life, used in wireless devices. Technology reduces power consumption devices ARM-based technology (it is 70% of all mobile phones) by adjusting the voltage and frequency characteristics manipulation processors.
The new technology will bring together hardware from National Semiconductor PowerWise and software Intelligent Energy Manager of ARM. The main area of application of energy-saving technology is mobile telephony, as new applications such as streaming, multimedia and games require additional power consumption. Currently, the battery simply can not cope with the requests used applications - said Bruce Beklof, head of the European division of ARM Marketing . - Increase the capacity of the battery is too slow compared to the growth of energy consumption, therefore, requires an integrated approach that combines hardware and software solutions.
In the first stage of introduction of energy-saving technologies is reached longer life power sources 75% will further improve this quadrupled. Currently, ARM and National Semiconductor are working together to standardize the interface between processors, control and energy saving software terminal equipment.
The first devices using energy-saving technology, will appear in early 2004, according to officials of corporations.
