Thursday May 27, 2010Ultra Low Power Devices (14:25 - 17:00)14:25 - 14:50 "Energy Harvesting Challenges for Future Ultra-Low Power Micro Controllers"- Energy harvesting systems further challenge microcontrollers and offer opportunities for extended smart self-operating hardware functions. Energy efficiency benefits from inactive CPU, no code memory accesses and low bus activities.
- Energy efficiency is optimized on how the hardware is used by which software code sequences. Once this is optimized the encapsulation of this HW and SW enables rapid application development but retain the energy savings. The result of the previous energy optimization effort is still valid independent of later product modifications.
- Another requirement of energy harvester systems is the ability of the microcontroller to deal with changing energy conditions. The question is how can a microcontroller design ensure robust operation and support self-recovering?
14:50 - 15:15 "How Ultra Low Power Swiss Watch Technology and Know How from the 20th Century is Influencing Energy Harvesting in the 21st Century"- Wireless sensors spend most of the time doing nothing - so why waste power doing nothing.
- Interchangeable energy harvesters and why identification may be required.
- How Microdul's Mixed Signal semi-custom ASIC can simplify the design of energy harvesting conversion, storage and control.
15:15 - 15:40 "Wireless Communication without Batteries - Pushing the Boundaries of Physics"- This presentation will outline the challenges facing energy scavenging device and radio engineers when developing the ultimate unobtrusive autonomous sensor node that: does not need a battery, uses an absolute minimum number of components, is small enough not to be noticeable, is, last but not least, low cost
- Core question is whether the holy grail is achievable or whether the laws of physics will get in the way.
