The Last Thing IoT Device Engineers Think About: End of Battery Life Behavior for IoT Devices

Battery-powered devices eventually consume their battery charge, and the device's behavior as it nears the end of battery life can have surprising and significant consequences for the application success, customer satisfaction, and even patient safety in the context of medical devices. Event-based power analysis at different supply voltages gives design and validation engineers quick, visual insights into device behavior and charge consumption. Engineers can then implement strategies to extend the device's lifetime and measure the effects of those strategies.
