Abstract :
This paper presents a sensor node processor (SNP) with optimized energy efficiency and performance for intelligent sensing through architecture-level optimization and ultra-low voltage operation with timing-error monitoring. Two typical intelligent sensing applications are demonstrated with the proposed processor, consuming 39 and 29pJ/cycle at 0.5V respectively.
