MDT Unveils TMR1370 Sensor to Extend CGM Battery Life

Continuous glucose monitoring devices can now remain in standby mode for over two years, thanks to a new ultra-low-power magnetic switch from MultiDimension Technology. The TMR1370 chip, which draws a maximum of 50nA, aims to solve power constraints in wearable medical hardware by prioritizing long-term energy efficiency.

The TMR1370 expands the company’s existing sensor lineup, building on the architecture of previous models like the TMR1367 and TMR1369. By utilizing proprietary Tunneling Magnetoresistance technology, the device achieves a typical power draw of 30nA at a 3V supply. This reduction in energy consumption is critical for medical wearables, where battery capacity must be preserved for active monitoring cycles after the device has been stored on a shelf.

Designed for integration into compact systems, the switch operates within a 1.8V to 4.0V range and features a maximum operating point below 40 Gauss. The sensor is housed in a miniature 1.6×1.6×0.5mm DFN5L package, allowing for thinner, lighter medical devices. System designers can now choose between X-axis and Z-axis configurations to better suit various mechanical layouts. Samples are currently available for purchase through DigiKey and the manufacturer's website.
