Solution
Weight scales have been used for quite a while in homes, businesses and medical facilities. Power consumption is one of the major factors in digital medical weight scale design. The need for extended battery life, along with high precision, fast response time and lower cost is critical. Microchip's PIC® microcontrollers with eXtreme Low Power (XLP) Technology and our wide range of analog components offer extensive flexibility and performance to designers of digital medical weight scales.
