9.1 Application Information

In battery-powered applications, one design constraint is the need for low current consumption. The TPL5010 is designed for applications where there is a need to monitor environmental conditions at a fixed time interval. Often in these applications a watchdog or other internal timer in a µC is used to implement a wake-up function. Using the TPL5010 to implement the watchdog function will consume only tens of nA, significantly improving the power consumption of the system.
