Erwan Leroux, Ir., from CSEM, Neuchâtel, Switzerland. A 1V RF SoC with an 863-to-928MHz 400kb/s Radio and a 32b Dual-MAC DSP Core for Wireless Sensor and Body Networks.
This seminar unveils the design of an RF System-on-Chip (SoC) for wireless sensor and body area networks that was previously presented at IEEE Int. Solid-State Circuit Conf. (ISSCC) 2010. A 150μA/MHz DSP with two MAC/cycle instructions is integrated with a configurable 863-to-928MHz RF transceiver that yields 3.5mW in continuous reception, 2μC per channel sampling and 40mW for 10dBm output. The SoC includes voltage converters that allow 1.0-to-1.8V or 2.7-to-3.6V primary voltage supplies. In sleep mode, it consumes 1μA with a 32kHz crystal-based RTC running. La conférence aura lieu au BARB22, pl. sainte Barbe, Louvain-la-Neuve.
