Active-Semi goes turnkey with Atmel's eMPUs

SAN JOSE, USA: Active-Semi has debuted a number of reference design solutions for Atmel's ARM Cortex A5and ARM9-based eMPUs (Embedded Micro Processor Units) using Active-Semi's ACT8865 and ACT8945A power management ICs (PMICs).

The above-mentioned embedded solutions offer high differentiation, specifically for low-power applications such as smartwatches, wearables, POS (Point-of-Sale) and HMI (Human Machine Interface).

These turnkey, highly integrated power IC solutions from Active-Semi fit well with Atmel's eMPU platform approach by reducing design cycle-time up to 80 percent and enabling the lowest standby power (under 2mW), critical in conserving battery life in portable applications.
