Associate Prof. Massimo Alioto from the ECE Department at the National University of Singapore has published the very first book on the design of the tiny nodes and sensors at the edge of the Internet of Things (IoT). The book is published by Springer, and is entitled “Enabling the Internet of Things – from Integrated Circuits to Integrated Systems”.
The book is the natural follow up of the research activities carried out in the ECE Department at NUS in the area of ultra-low power chip design for IoT, as crucial enabler of miniaturized smart sensing systems with decade-long battery lifetime. Based on Prof. Alioto’s leadership in the area of next-generation IoT, the book includes contributions from leading semiconductor industry (e.g., Intel, ARM) and universities (e.g., Purdue, ETHZ).
The book offers the first comprehensive view on integrated circuit and system design for the IoT, and a vision on how the IoT will evolve based on the analysis of technological and economic trends. The reader is provided with insights into the state of the art in the design of IoT nodes and sensors, from circuits to architectures, packaging and system demonstrations. At the same time, the goal is to provide the reader with a strong understanding of the challenges and the opportunities encountered in crucial components of IoT nodes, from digital to analog, to wireless communications, power delivery and batteries.
The book has been released at the prestigious ISSCC 2017 conference in San Francisco, and is now available to the public audience.
