ISSCC 2016 Short Course<br />

Circuits for the Internet of Everything<br />

Organizer:<br />

Wim Dehaene, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium<br />

The Internet of Everything (IoE) is today one of the main drivers for further development in<br />

the semiconductor industry. Academic research is also focusing on this application domain.<br />

The Internet of Everything poses new challenges to circuit design mainly for the creation of<br />

energy efficient design of IoE nodes. The holistic view on IoE projects the presence of several<br />

layers of hardware in the IoE system ranging from tiny sensor nodes all around in the<br />

environment, over user terminals to huge server infrastructure. The layer closest to the<br />

physical world is that of the sensor nodes. For these nodes to be omnipresent, they will have<br />

to be running on an independent supply – either batteries that last for years or energy<br />

harvesting. Ultra-efficient, low-energy design is a key asset in this context.<br />

This short course aims to give an overview of the challenges that modern circuit design has<br />

to face, and the solutions it can offer, in the context of design for the Internet of Everything.<br />

The course will start by addressing the topic of “processors for IoE”. The typical needs for<br />

digital processing in an IoE node will be discussed. In this part the general picture of circuits<br />

for IoE will also be sketched. The second topic addresses the radio design for IoE, followed<br />

by sensor interfaces and time references. These three circuit classes are essential parts of<br />

any IoE node and also comprise the core challenges of circuit design for the IoE.<br />
