Challenges in Advanced Power Management Solutions

Implementing effective power management systems involves overcoming several difficulties:

PMIC Complexity

Selecting and configuring the right Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC), which often offers dozens of configurable parameters and operating modes.

Charging Optimization

Designing safe and efficient charging processes for various battery types (Li-ion, Li-Po, etc.), considering their characteristics and lifespan.

Accurate Battery Monitoring

Precisely estimating the battery's State-of-Charge (SoC) and State-of-Health (SoH), crucial for predicting runtime and preventing failures

Managing Multiple Power Sources

Seamlessly switching between battery power, mains power, and harvested energy.

Minimizing Energy Losses

Designing high-efficiency power supply circuits (voltage regulators, DC/DC converters).

System Integration

Coordinating the power management system with the device's overall operating logic and power-saving modes.

How needCode Designs Intelligent Power Management Systems

We possess specialized knowledge and experience in key power management areas:

01 PMIC Expertise

We have extensive, practical experience in selecting, implementing, and optimizing dedicated PMICs. We leverage their advanced capabilities for fine-grained control over voltages, power sequencing, and sleep mode management, achieving efficiency unattainable with discrete solutions.

02 Advanced Battery Monitoring

We implement intelligent battery monitoring algorithms, integrating SoC and SoH data with system status information (e.g., network connection status) for more accurate runtime predictions and optimized energy usage.

03 Battery Load Optimization

We understand the chemistry and behavior of various cell types. We design systems so that the load characteristics (e.g., avoiding sharp current spikes) are optimal for battery longevity.

04 Charging Circuit Design

We create safe and efficient charging circuits tailored to the specifics of the batteries used.

05 Energy Harvesting

We design and implement complete ambient energy harvesting subsystems (light, motion, heat), including transducer selection, power conversion circuits, and integration with the main power system. We have experience with ultra-low-power technologies like EnOcean.

06 System Integration

We ensure seamless cooperation between the power management subsystem and the rest of the embedded software and hardware.

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!”
