Prodigious Journeys in Ultra Low Energy Systems

Moore's law keeps increasing the number of transistors per die, decreasing electronics cost and making truly ubiquitous electronics a potential. In order to achieve this potential however, power dissipation remains a bottleneck.

This group explores the boundaries of low-power design, seeking new design paradigms in order to enable massive power reduction and hence increase in integration.

In order to achieve these goals we combine  the potential of MEMS resonators and state of the art CMOS. This project is building on the foundations of the by-now infamous PicoRadio project, which ran at the BWRC between 1999 and 2005.
