Category: RTC (Real-time clock)

A real-time clock (RTC) is an electronic device (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that measures the passage of time.

STM32 power saving: library LowPower, wiring, and Idle mode – 4

In a remote device, one important feature can be the power consumption, and like other devices, STM32 allows a set of Low Power states.
In this article, we look at the library to use and performance with our devices.

STM32 power saving: intro and Arduino vs STM framework – 3

In a remote device, one important feature can be the power consumption, and like other devices, STM32 allows a set of Low Power states.
In the Arduino framework, these states are wrapped and simplified to allow the most straightforward management, but we will look at the original state of STM32 to better understand the test results.
