Project description
Innovative design of the IoT sensor node
Rapid technological improvement in the semiconductor industry has resulted in a boom in small devices. An electronic device that dramatically reduces its power consumption and can be powered by an alternative green energy source enabling the vision of the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a real challenge. The EU-funded UBIGIoT project will apply a synergetic approach, targeting multisource harvesters and the System-on-Chip (SoC) design, to increase the energy efficiency of an IoT sensor node. The project will make time-to-market faster and reduce the cost of energy-autonomous Wireless Sensor Nodes. UBIGIoT will address challenging problems concerning performance and will also verify and validate the effectiveness of this approach in demonstrations of industrial interest.
Objective
"The rapid technological improvement in the semiconductor industry has enabled smaller and smaller devices to pervade our everyday lives. The real challenge in reducing the size to facilitate a ubiquitous integration of smart functions in any “thing” is drastically reducing the power consumption that constrains the volume to the presence of bulky batteries. An electronic device that dramatically reduces its power consumption can be powered by an alternative ""green"" source of energy such as light or vibration enabling the vision of the “Internet of Things”.
In this scenario, the proposed research activity is intended to substantially enhance the energy efficiency of an IoT sensor node by a synergetic approach targeting both multisource harvesters and the System-on-Chip (SoC) design. The latter one aims in a comprehensive approach in which the macroblocks of different nature are designed exploiting at most an automated (digital) design flow.
On this basis, a dramatic human-design effort reduction and silicon area for the same operation is expected for any SoC by a factor in the range of 10x-100x. This implies a faster time-to-market and a reduced cost of energy-autonomous Wireless Sensor Nodes. Challenging problems to be addressed are performance (i.e. resolution, speed).
The effectiveness of the proposed approach will be verified and validated on demonstrators of industrial interest. The project targets to be innovative, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral across academies, an EU-based semiconductor company, and partners from MS and TC mostly based in the ASEN."
