Course Description
This course targets to provide an overview of the enabling integrated circuit design techniques for the development of energy constrained Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The fundamental building blocks in an IoT system will be systematically introduced, including the analog interface, power management circuits, energy harvesting modules, analog-to-digital converters, short-range radios, digital architecture, non-volatile memory, hardware security and battery/packaging. Advanced circuit design techniques targeting for ultra-low power consumption to fulfill the application level requirements will also be introduced.
