Build Next-Generation Communications Infrastructure


Designers of carrier networks are under pressure to provide significantly improved capacity and coverage for bandwidth-intensive services such as cloud computing, edge computing, robotics and autonomous driving, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). However, service providers must also balance bandwidth demands with business realities that include limited spectrum availability and the need to reduce capital and operating expenses, minimize energy consumption and reduce the physical and carbon footprint of their communications infrastructure.

Discover how our technology and solutions will help you meet these essential requirements in your next design.

See Every Watt, Save Every Microamp: PAC1711 and PAC1811 Power Monitors

Our PAC1711 and PAC1811 digital power monitors offer ultra-low power consumption (up to 50% less than previous models), advanced accumulation registers for tracking energy usage and flexible, granular alert features, making them suitable for applications in IoT, portable electronics, automotive and industrial sectors. These 12-bit (PAC1711) and 16 bit (PAC1811) resolution devices maintain high measurement accuracy without sacrificing performance. The devices provide early detection of abnormal power events through step limit alerts and are available in a VDFN-8 footprint that is compatible with the SOT23-8, a widely adopted package, for supply flexibility.
