Low Quiescent Current for Automotive Always-On Systems

Blog Jan 28, 2022

As energy efficiency is becoming a must in many industries, mastery of the quiescent current starts being a designer’s obligation. The quiescent current is the minimum value necessary for the DC-DC converter to remain enabled when not in use. It is the rated current used in on condition with minimum functionality: i.e., the integrated circuit is switched on and ready to operate.
