Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 International SoC Design Conference (ISOCC) Conference Start Date: 2014, Nov. 3 Conference End Date: 2014, Nov. 6 Conference Location: Jeju, South Korea 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.
