Metrics For Measuring Performance And Power In IoT SoC Designs


The problem confronting chip designers developing IoT SoCs is the need for high compute performance and low power consumption. This is especially true for SoCs being developed for devices required to operate for years on a battery. One example is the new generation of electronic shelf label (ESL) with a requirement of five years. The ESL receives central server pricing updates along with a f... » read more
