The Critical Hurdles in Low-Power Embedded System Development

Achieving truly minimal power consumption in embedded systems is a sophisticated engineering challenge. Without specialized expertise, businesses often face hurdles that impact:

Performance vs. Energy Balance

Finding the optimal trade-off between required processing power, responsiveness, and energy consumption.

Wireless Communication Optimization

Configuring protocols (BLE, Zigbee, Matter, UWB) so that data transmission consumes minimal energy.

Power Consumption Analysis

Accurately measuring and profiling energy usage across different device operating states.

Power Management

Implementing advanced sleep modes, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), and clock gating.

Battery Health

Designing the system load to be optimal for the lifespan of the power source cells.

Component Selection

Choosing microcontrollers, sensors, and peripherals with the lowest possible current draw in active and sleep modes.

Testimonials

“I think the key takeaway from needCode is their ability to adapt and understand the customer's requirements. That took away probably a large portion of what could have been a lot of development time and expense for both companies.”

Bob Folkestad

President at Creative Werks

“One aspect that truly sets needCode apart is its profound expertise in firmware development. Their proficiency in various programming languages, embedded systems and hardware architecture is truly impressive. When faced with difficult problems, their strong problem-solving skills and analytical mindset shine through, allowing them to overcome obstacles with remarkable ease.”

Semeh Sarhan

CEO at Xtrava

“I worked with needCode while leading the NWTN-Berlin team in 2018. A big chunk for our FW development has been outsourced to them and they had proven to iterate very quickly, following specs and deliver on time. It was great working with them. I recommend working with needCode’s team on any Embedded SW development.”

Marco Salvioli Mariani

CTO at NWTN Berlin GmbH

“needCode Team proved to be one of the best engineers I have ever met. The part I like the most about the team is the more difficult an obstacle seems to be, the more motivated they were to find a solution and a way forward.”

Szymon Słupik

CTO at Silvair

“needCode is an outstanding partner. Their quick follow-up, scalability, and extensive professional network set them apart. Their expertise in wireless technologies has been valuable, supporting us from low-level drivers to architecture discussions.”

Tim Allemeersch

Director at Qorvo, Inc.

“needCode did a great job improving the firmware of the Vai Kai connected toys and developing new features, surpassing our expectations multiple times. I would definitely recommend hiring Bartek and needCode for the embedded software projects!”
