Energy Efficient VLSI Design for Next Generation IoT Devices

Abstract

Mankind has turned into an era where our environment will gradually accept a place to modify how we connect to it, the Internet of Things (IoT). This technological shift is based on the critical requirement of energy efficient Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits. These are the same circuits as the core of the IoT edge circuits to receive, process, and transmit data in the minimum power consumption. Now that is the demand for low power VLSI solutions in the emerging world of IoT ecosystem.The authors discuss in this article the design intricacies of VLSI circuits intended for the special applications in the IoT. On the way we will discover emerging technologies, new ideas and exciting breakthroughs in the field of energy efficiency. Other strategies to make IoT hardware better: none shall be spared, and we will go from architectural innovations to circuit level optimizations, and beyond.In this comprehensive guide, readers will learn about the challenges in low power VLSI design for IoT, what are these solutions and how IoT future will look like. Now, if you are a engineer, researcher or a tech enthusiast this article presents some very useful tips on how to start designing energy efficient IoT hardware.
