Expert Session: Overview and Architecture of Low Power Systems

#1 Expert Session of Series "Low Power Systems"
Speaker: Carsten Brockmann, Fraunhofer IZM
Recording from March 7th, 2023

Low power system design is becoming increasingly important in today's world, where electronic devices are becoming smaller, more portable, and more integrated into our daily lives. With the proliferation of mobile and IoT devices, reducing power consumption has become a critical design consideration. Low power system design is also important for energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of electronic devices.The need for low power system design arises from the fact that electronic systems consume a significant amount of power, which can limit battery life and increase heat generation. This can be particularly problematic for battery-powered devices, which need to operate for long periods of time without requiring frequent charging. In addition, high power consumption can lead to device failure and reduced reliability, as well as increased cost due to the need for larger batteries and cooling systems.

Low power system design involves a variety of techniques, including power optimization, power management, energy harvesting, system-level optimization, and testing and verification. By incorporating these techniques into the design process, it is possible to create electronic systems that are more power-efficient, have longer battery life, and generate less heat.

Overall, low power system design is critical for the development of efficient and reliable electronic systems that can meet the needs of today's mobile and IoT-centric world. It is a key consideration for designers of electronic systems, and will continue to play an important role in the development of future electronic devices.
