Title:

Scalable Processor Solutions for IoT Applications

Abstract:

The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) market is fragmented and diverse, in applications and required semiconductor products. Example functions to be supported are sensor processing, communications, security and audio / voice / speech processing. Processor solutions for IoT applications therefore need to efficiently support different types of processing and be scalable to different performance levels. A key requirement across IoT applications is to offer lowest energy consumption, in particular for mobile Always-On devices. We will discuss how processor solutions can offer the required scalability, while offering lowest energy consumption. Specifically this will include a discussion on memory architectures and techniques to reduce memory power consumption.
