• TIDA-00807 Fault Monitoring for Overhead Fault Indicators using Ultra Low Power Reference Design | TI.com
  TIDA-00807: Fault Indicators (FI) are devices installed at certain distance on overhead power lines in electric power distribution networks to detect and indicate the occurence of faults. The benefit is reduction in outage times by identifying the fault zone easily. The TIDA-00807 reference design features an ultra‐low power MCU and discrete analog front end to monitor and measure the current and voltage parameters where it is installed.In addition, a self‐test mechanism comprising of a DAC and Hall Switch can be configured to execute a diagnostic program that permits the system to test itself.
• Solar Dice: a Sensor Node in the Internet of Things (IoT) Reference Design
  PMP9754: The Solar Dice are a battery-less, wirelessly-transmitting device for the Internet of Things. An onboard accelerometer detects the orientation of the Dice and wirelessly transmits this to a host, such as a USB dongle or smartphone. The reference design demonstrates an ultra-low power sensor node, which is enabled by ultra-low power optimized code for the CC430 and ultra-low power management through the TPS62740. The entire system draws a mere 2.36µA when in standby mode. The Solar Dice are just an example of an unlimited number of different sensor types (temperature, humidity, pressure, etc.) that are enabled by the TPS62740 and CC430.
• PMP9753 Energy Buffering for Long-Life Battery Applications Reference Design | TI.com
  PMP9753: Long-Life Batteries like LiSOCl2 chemistry are unable to provide currents higher than e.g. 20mA. They furthermore suffer with reduced operation runtimes when higher currents are drawn.
