ECO chip: Energy Consumption Zeroize Chip with a 953MHz High-Sensitivity Radio Wave Detector for Standby Mode Applications

Abstract

ECO chip (energy consumption zeroize chip) for standby mode applications is presented. ECO chip detects 953 MHz band radio waves from a remote control using a high-sensitivity rectifier and switches on/off the main power supplies of applications with ultra-low power consumption. Sensitivity of -42 dBm and communication distance of 10 m from 13 dBm output remote control are achieved with 0.14 muW power consumption.
