Measured current in every state, the regulator swap that mattered more than the firmware, and the deep-sleep figure the datasheet does not give you.
What you may do with this
The original manufacturer authorized this publisher. That permission was given to them and does not transfer to you with these files; you would need your own.
The publisher states: The maker gave written permission to publish this teardown after the product was discontinued. Permission covers this write-up only, not reuse of the design.
What the methods prove
Empirical teardown analysis
The unit disassembled and recorded part by part.
Everything published here is the publisher’s own measurement of a legally acquired, off-the-shelf commercial unit. Qatoto does not host manufacturer-internal documents and makes no clearance assessment of its own.
Report an IP concern about this teardown
Publisher attested on May 5, 2026 that the unit was lawfully obtained, that the data was gathered by measurement and standard disassembly, and that no vendor-confidential material was used.

Getting it made
Qatoto lists factories by capability and certification and carries an inquiry to them. Nothing here is a quote, and a factory will ask for your own files.
