The EM9304 is a flexible solution which may also be used
without an external MCU for simple applications such as
beacons. As illustrated in Figure 2, it may be directly
connected to external digital sensors which may exploit the
EM9304’s internal 32-bit processing capability, or with sensor
hubs such as from EM’s SENtral platform. Other applications
using A/D converters, EEPROMs, display and/or touch
interfaces can also be implemented.

The EM9304 can be supplied from a 3V battery (e.g. Lithium
coin-cell). In such case, the DCDC converter is put into step-
down configuration. The EM9304 can also be supplied from a
1.5V battery (e.g. Alkaline, Silver-Oxide, or Zinc-Air single
cells). In such case, the DCDC converter is put into step-up
configuration.

Finally, configurations are also possible without the DCDC
converter (no inductor required), for systems already with
power management, or for systems that require the lowest bill
of materials.
