6 Components of Power Minimization

Viewed as interacting constraints:

  1. Hardware limitations – inherent design or component limitations
  2. Configuration – jumper/shunt positions, module such as comms module choice
  3. Settings – comms module implementations, what mode is it running in?
  4. Hardware build options
    1. DNPs
    2. Components values
  5. Software and firmware implementations
  6. Use-case strategies

Every aspect matters.
