Abstract :
Analog sensor interfaces are used in wireless sensor nodes to perform sensor conditioning, event detection, and data reduction. The use of reconfigurable interfaces will enable applications developers to customize these sensor interfaces and to reconfigure them in the field. In this paper, we examine the energy cost of reconfiguring analog circuitry and how the requirements of wireless sensor nodes impact the design of reconfigurable analog systems.
