Deep-sub-voltage nanoelectronics
open-in-new
<p>Deep-sub-voltage nanoelectronics are integrated circuits (ICs) operating near theoretical limits of energy consumption per unit of processing. These devices are intended to address the needs of applications such as <a href="/facts/Wireless_sensor_networks/r5LIAVsU">wireless sensor networks</a> which have dramatically different requirements from traditional electronics. For example, for microprocessors where performance is a primary metric of interest, but for some new devices, energy per instruction has become a more sensible metric. </p><p>The important case of fundamental ultimate limit for logic operation is the <a href="/facts/Reversible_computing/yEum13Vs">reversible computing</a>. </p><p>The tiny autonomous devices (for example <a href="/facts/Smartdust/4X9Dhdxe">smartdust</a> or autonomous <a href="/facts/Microelectromechanical_systems/TkhEzDpm">Microelectromechanical systems</a>) are based on deep-sub-voltage nanoelectronics. </p> <ul><li>Meindl J.
