Double Seminar on Analog Electronics: Ultra low power event-driven sensor interfaces
Joint Seminar on Analog Electronics with two exciting talks from:
- Prof. Georges Gielen (KU Leuven) at 14:00
- Prof. Pieter Harpe (TU Eindhoven) at 14:30
Abstract
In this talk, we will take a look at ultra low power sensor interfaces for IoT applications. In such applications, the sensing operation is often done at a relatively low frequency, and sometimes it is heavily duty-cycled, or it should be triggered by particular events or thresholds. For that reason, event-driven (dynamic) operation is beneficial as compared to static operation. We will review ADC and sensor interface architectures that can operate dynamically and that can be triggered by a single clock pulse. As an overall example, a resistive-based temperature sensor interface including analog correction techniques is reviewed and the main features in terms of efficiency and performance are discussed.
About the speaker
Pieter Harpe (SM'15) received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, in 2004 and 2010, respectively. In 2008, he started as researcher at Holst Centre / imec, The Netherlands. Since then, he has been working on ultra low-power wireless transceivers, with a main focus on ADC research and design. In April 2011, he joined Eindhoven University of Technology where he is currently an Associate Professor on low-power mixed-signal circuits. Dr. Harpe is analog subcommittee chair for the ESSCIRC conference and TPC member for A-SSCC. He also served as TPC member for ISSCC and AACD, was an IEEE SSCS Distinguished Lecturer and is recipient of the ISSCC 2015 Distinguished Technical Paper Award.
