因为我没有太优雅的年龄，我似乎花了越来越多的时间在房子里闲逛，说出不朽的话语“亲爱的，你见过......？”昨天我正在为我的iPhone寻找充电线。
我有一个模糊的回忆，大概有五个，但是如果我能找到一个，我会胆怯。
它们不可能都在使用中，不是吗？
快速计算我们家庭中的Apple产品（三个iPad，两个iPhone，三个不同年份的iPod），揭示了一个惊人的事实：是的，它们都在使用中。
这让我想到了在任何给定时间插入家中的充电器数量以及它们所代表的功率使用情况。
减少电子和电气产品功耗的压力是普遍的，并且从根本上是由于认识到并认识到世界人口（或至少Ahearne家族）已经开发出对不可容忍和不断增长的产品的需求和/或渴望
对有限自然资源的需求。
在我通过房子大喊大叫的后代关灯之前，我反思了更大的画面。
如果我们真的认真考虑保护地球的资源，我们需要同时考虑供需两方面 - 一方面通过完全采用风能，波浪能和太阳能等可持续发电方法，不像燃烧那样耗尽资源。
化石或其他燃料，另一方面，通过设计在功率使用方面尽可能节俭的产品。
后者是半导体设计师和制造商可以产生积极影响的。
在组件架构和技术方面，只需使用更少的电力，并通过支持其客户 - 产品设计工程师 - 开发尽可能节能的电路，子系统和完整终端产品。
大型半导体公司以及一系列初创公司和初出茅庐的公司正在利用他们的知识，技术专长和特定的市场部门经验来实施半导体工艺几何结构，集成封装设计和复杂的电源管理方案，以减少设备的电源需求。
从电动汽车到智能手机，平板电脑，洗衣机和工业自动化设备。
以白色家电为例，较低的能源使用量不仅可以转化为环境优势，还可以作为卖点，因为终端客户将享受更少的电费。
类似地，在便携式通信市场中，终端客户受益于电池充电周期之间的待机时间的增加或制造商塞入更多功能的能力。
在电动和混合动力汽车中，可比较的情况是充电之间可能存在更长的车辆范围（使其成为燃气或柴油发动机汽车的更可接受和可行的替代方案）。
在这些多样但巨大且快速发展的市场中，半导体制造商和其他电子设备和组件生产商可以发挥更全面的作用，而不仅仅是提供功耗更低的部件。
通过与客户，标准组织和整个工程界密切合作，他们可以加入或启动有价值的富有成效的讨论，将想法提升到最终状态，最终加快和简化设计，开发和推出引人注目，高效，节能的消费者和工业
产品。
顺便说一句，计算苹果充电器，Roku，各种无线手机充电器，牙刷，打印机电源和各种笔记本电脑充电器，我计算了十八个可能被归类为永久性插入家中的充电器的物体。
别介意电视机，钟表，有线电视盒，总是打开的洗衣机......我的家人是异常还是典型的？
能源对话多少是个人责任，对于那些现在被认为对现代生活至关重要的物品，设备和供应商需要多少钱？

以下为原文
As I age none too gracefully, I seem to spend more and more time wandering around the house, uttering the immortal words “Honey, have you seen ….?” Yesterday I was looking for a charging cord for my iPhone. I had a vague recollection of having about five, but darned if I could find one. They couldn’t all be in use, could they? A quick calculation of Apple products in our household (three ipads, two iPhones, three iPods of various vintages) revealed the startling truth: yes they were all in use.
That got me to thinking about the number of chargers plugged into my home at any given time and the power usage they represented. The pressure to reduce power consumption in electronic and electrical products is universal and is fundamentally driven by a recognition and realization that the world’s population (or at least the Ahearne family) has developed a need and / or desire for products that put an intolerable and growing demand on limited natural resources.
Before I went rampaging through the house shouting at offspring to turn off lights, I reflected on the bigger picture. If we are really serious about conserving the planet’s resources we need to consider both supply and demand – on the one hand by fully embracing sustainable methods of energy generation such as wind, wave and solar that don’t deplete resources in the same way as burning fossil or other fuels, and on the other, by designing products that are as frugal as possible in terms of their power usage.
It is the latter where semiconductor designers and manufacturers can have a positive impact. Both in terms of component architectures and technologies that simply use less electricity and by supporting their customers – the product design engineers – in developing blocks of circuitry, sub-systems and complete end products that are as energy efficient as possible.
The big Semiconductor players as well as an array of start-up and fledgling companies are using their knowledge, technical expertise and specific market sector experience to implement semiconductor process geometries, integrated package designs and sophisticated power management schemes that reduce the power needs of devices that go into anything from electric vehicles to smartphones to tablets to washing machines and industrial automation equipment.
In white goods, as an example, lower energy usage translates not only into an environmental plus, but also a selling point as end customers will enjoy smaller electricity bills. Similarly, in the portable communications market there is an end customer benefit of an increase in standby time between battery charging cycles or the ability for manufacturers to cram in even more functionality. In electric and hybrid vehicles a comparable scenario plays out with longer vehicle range possible between charging (making them a more acceptable and viable alternative to gas or diesel engine cars).
Across these diverse yet huge and rapidly evolving markets, semiconductor manufacturers and other producers of electronics devices and components can play a more holistic role rather than just supplying the parts that use less power. By engaging closely with customers, standards bodies and the engineering community at large they can join or initiate valuable productive discussions, bring ideas to the table and ultimately speed and ease the design, development and launch of compelling, highly efficient, power frugal consumer and industrial products.
By the way, counting Apple chargers, the Roku, various wireless phones chargers, the toothbrushes, the printer supply and various laptop chargers, I counted eighteen objects that could be classed as chargers permanently plugged at my home. Never mind the TVs, clocks, Cable boxes, darned washing machine that is always on anyway…Is my family an anomaly or is that typical ? How much is energy conversation a personal responsibility, and how much is up to the designers and suppliers of components for those objects now deemed essential to modern living?
