MCUs by Conclusive Engineering: Why Us?

Full IPR Transfer Zephyr RTOS Experts Nordic | NXP |Microchip | TI Partners ISO 26262 / IEC 62304 Ready

Full IPR Transfer

You own 100% of the schematics, PCB layouts, firmware source code, and build toolchains. No hidden licensing or vendor lock-in.

Hardware & Software Co-Optimization

Hardware leakage reduction without low-power firmware optimization is useless. We design both layers in-house for seamless power domain management.

Silicon Partner Ecosystem

Official design partner relationships with Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, Microchip, and Texas Instruments give us early access to cutting-edge low-power ICs and support.

Empirical Power Profiling

We don't estimate battery life on spreadsheets alone—we measure real-world dynamic current draw down to nanoamps using active power profiling.

Core Low-Power Engineering Capabilities

Microcontrollers

Ultra-Low-Power Hardware & Circuit Design

  1. Power Domain Segmentation: Smart power gating and PMIC selection (e.g., energy harvesting PMICs, high-efficiency buck regulators) to shut down inactive sub-circuits completely.

  2. Component Leakage Minimization: Selection of active and passive components with ultra-low shutdown currents.

  3. Battery Management Systems (BMS): Fuel gauging, primary (LiSOCl2, Coin Cell) and secondary (LiPo, LiFePO4) battery charging circuits, supercapacitor integration, and energy harvesting.

  4. Optimized PCB Layout: Minimizing trace parasitic capacitance, cross-talk, and power-plane loss to optimize wireless RF TX efficiency.

Energy-Efficient Firmware Architecture

  1. Advanced Sleep & Wake Strategies: Fine-grained event-driven execution using sleep states (STOP, STANDBY, SHUTDOWN, DeepSleep) and DMA-driven peripherals.

  2. RTOS & Bare-Metal Optimization: Native expertise in Zephyr RTOS, FreeRTOS, and bare-metal implementations optimized for minimal tick frequencies and dynamic clock gating.

  3. Peripheral Duty Cycling: Keeping power-hungry buses (SPI, I2C, ADC, UART) off until explicitly required.

Energy-Efficient Firmware Architecture
Functional safety

Low-Power Wireless & Edge IoT

  1. Protocol Expertise: Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.x / Long Range), Matter / Thread, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT / LTE-M, and sub-1 GHz proprietary RF.

  2. Connection Parameter Optimization: Adaptive advertising intervals, connection window tuning, and payload compression to drastically reduce RF transmission time.

Precision Measurement & Testing

  1. Empirical Current Profiling: Real-time nanoamp-to-amp power profiling across all operating states, transient wake-up spikes, and environmental variations.

  2. Accelerated Life & Environmental Testing: Battery longevity modeling under extreme temperatures and operating cycles
