Abstract

There is considerable interest in the development of ultra-miniature and low-power sensor microsystems for use in applications such as medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring and other industrial applications. Such ultra-miniature sensor microsystems must contain a large diversity of complex electronics, including sensor interfaces, signal conditioning, a microprocessor core, digital signal processing, and wireless transmission technology. In this paper, we will describe the first steps towards the development of a System on Chip for such a sensor microsystem and the methodology employed to build such a microsystems.
