“Growing Demand for Low-Power, High-Performance Microcontrollers”
- A major trend reshaping the microcontroller market is the growing demand for low-power, high-performance microcontrollers, driven by the increasing number of battery-powered and energy-efficient applications in IoT devices, wearables, and automotive systems
- Manufacturers are focusing on developing microcontrollers with enhanced processing power, improved power management features, and longer battery life to meet the needs of these increasingly power-sensitive applications
- For instance, in February 2024, Texas Instruments introduced a new low-power microcontroller series designed to extend battery life in connected devices such as wearables and IoT sensors
- Technological advances such as integrated low-power modes, energy harvesting capabilities, and improved sleep/wake cycles are increasing the efficiency of microcontrollers in energy-conscious applications
- This trend is driving the microcontroller market toward a new generation of ultra-low-power devices, fueling growth in applications requiring extended battery life and increased energy efficiency
