Best Low-Power Microcontrollers for Battery-Powered IoT Projects

ariajames_121

Hey everyone,

I'm new here and excited to be part of this community! I'm working on a battery-powered IoT project and trying to find the best low-power microcontroller for the job. The goal is to maximize battery life while still having enough processing power to handle sensor data and communicate wirelessly (BLE, Wi-Fi, or LoRa).

I’ve been looking into options like the Nordic nRF52 series and STM32L series, but I’d love to hear from those with hands-on experience. What MCUs have worked well for you in low-power applications? Any tips on optimizing power consumption?

Looking forward to your thoughts.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve come across Ambiq’s Apollo series but haven’t looked into them in detail. If they offer ultra-low power with built-in BLE, they might be a great fit for my project. I’ll check out their specs and see how they compare to other options. Appreciate the recommendation!
