- Jul 8, 2026 Wake-Up Latency and Its Energy Cost Why returning from a low-power state costs microseconds and microjoules, how that cost sets a floor on the usable duty cycle, and where the transition sequence loses time. embedded systems
- May 28, 2026 From Duty Cycle to Average Current and Battery Life How charge accounting turns an active and sleep schedule into an average current, and where the resulting battery-life estimate stops being trustworthy. embedded systems
- Dec 8, 2025 Sizing Energy Storage for an Intermittently Powered Device How a harvesting source, a buffer capacitor, and a load with a fixed energy per operation determine whether a device can run at all, and what happens at the boundary. embedded systems
- Oct 26, 2023 Attributing Energy to Code with a State Machine Model How to assign charge to firmware paths by tracking state transitions, why instruction counts are a poor proxy, and where the attribution model is structurally wrong. embedded systems
