Ultra-low-power microelectronics will expand the technological capability of handheld and wireless devices by dramatically improving battery life and portability. Ubiquitous sensor networks, RFID tags, implanted medical devices, portable biosensors, handheld devices, and space-based applications are among those which would benefit from extremely low power circuits. One of the most promising methods of achieving ultra-low-power microelectronics is to reduce the operating voltage to below the transistor threshold voltage, which can result in energy savings of more than 90% compared to conventional low-power microelectronics.
A new Subthreshold Microelectronics Conference has been launched to provide a forum for open discussion and development of ultra-low-power technologies. The goal of the Conference is to provide an interactive environment for establishing collaborations, exchanging ideas, and facilitating discussion with potential users and sponsors of Subthreshold Microelectronics. The conference is technically co-sponsored by IEEE.
