About

Welcome to Freescale’s Energy-Efficient Applications Blog. Our discussions will offer tips and tricks for low-power applications. We will be highlighting new microcontrollers and processors with features and technology that help you stay within your energy budget. The idea is to provide more information than you would normally get from a specification.

We also want to hear from you. Are the posts providing useful content? What topics would you like to discuss? What challenges do you face with your low power designs?

Our goal is to have new content posted every two weeks, so come back and visit regularly. You can also subscribe for updates so that you’ll be notified when new articles are posted.
