ADC STATE-OF-THE ART AND DSM

clara.coudoin@presto-eng.com (Clara Coudoin) — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 09:48:00 GMT

The current evolution of the information and communications technology (ICT) has led into the convergence of many traditional fields, such as real-time analytics, health monitoring, machine learning, sensory systems, embedded systems, etc..., into complex applications that share data with one another over some kind of network or the Internet. This is the so-called Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm, which is currently the focus of the industry and its expanding at a high rate. This growing market demands sensors with increasingly better performance (e.g., resolution), increased autonomy (i.e., low power consumption), and high-speed capabilities. A key component in any sensory system is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) since its performance often determines the capabilities of the entire sensory system.

POWER MANAGEMENT IN IOT SENSOR

clara.coudoin@presto-eng.com (Clara Coudoin) — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 12:56:03 GMT

The adoption of IoT technology has rapidly increased over the past couple of years, leaving its footprint in many industries including agriculture, manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, transportation, and logistics, to name a few.
Devices utilized for IoT applications can range from simple temperature measurement tools to components of more complex systems.
In agriculture, IoT sensors are employed to monitor soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels. This allows for the optimization of irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. In healthcare, IoT sensors are typically embedded in wearable devices used to monitor an individual’s health. These can take the form of smartwatches used as fitness trackers, monitoring heart rhythm and sleep patterns. Other devices, such as pacemakers, use IoT sensors to monitor the patient's natural heart activity. The applications for IoT sensors span numerous fields.
