A cm-scale self-powered intelligent and secure IoT edge mote featuring an ultra-low-power SoC in 14nm tri-gate CMOS

Abstract

Energy efficiency, performance and security of compact, self-powered, smart, secure and connected motes at the edge of IoT are critical for realizing intelligent, robust and sustainable end-to-end cyberphysical systems that deliver compelling new capabilities based on big data analytics. Integrated ultra-low-power compute [1] and wireless connectivity [2], neural-network-based inference accelerators [3], energy-efficient and compact multi-sensing front end and crypto engines, high density and low leakage embedded memory, and fine-grain power management are essential ingredients of the mote SoC.
