RISC
StrongARM™ for Low Power and Severe Service Applications
Get
white papers from ADS and CALCE labs about low power and severe
service technology here! Industrial
temp. -40 to +85degC, EMI, shock & vibe, etc. all in a Low-Power
package!

Low power
capability is significant for power savings with battery-operated
systems and handheld devices, and makes possible operation in
extended temperature ranges.
As a reference,
x86 single board computers may consume 20 Watts and more. ADS'
Graphics Client Plus 4"x6" single board computer system consumes
on average 2W (2,000mW) of power in full operation. When in 'sleep
mode', the Graphics Client Plus system is rated for less than
2.2 to 2.5 mA, yet can spring into full operation instantly with
no 'boot up' time.
Even lower
power budgets are available on BitsyPlus which partition sections
of the board to power down chips when they are not needed. BitsyX
goes beyond this by using Intel's XScale technology to pace the
CPU and adjust the voltage according to momentary compute need.
