How to Design a Battery-Powered Device Around Peak Current
A battery-powered device can have enough capacity to meet its runtime target and still fail during operation. A common reason is peak current. A device may consume only 500 mA under normal conditions but suddenly require 3 A when a motor starts, a wireless radio transmits, a camera activates, or a processor enters a high-performance state. If the battery and power path cannot handle this…
