This course targets to provide an overview of the enabling integrated circuit design techniques for the development of energy constrained Internet of Thing (IoT) systems. The fundamental building blocks in an IoT system will be systematically introduced, including the analog interface, power management circuits, energy harvesting modules, analog-to-digital converters, short-range radios, digital architecture, non-volatile memory, hardware security and battery/packaging. Advanced circuit design techniques targeting for ultra-low power consumption to fulfill the application level requirements will also be introduced.

CILO-1: Interpret knowledge of IoT systems in mathematics, science and engineering. CILO-2: Use the IC-related simulation tools relevant to the discipline. CILO-3: Design an IoT system, component or process to meet desired application.
