Only 5 microwatts of power, and it's still fabbed on 180nm. I'm assuming these "tricks" they speak of wouldn't be ruined if they went to, say, 5nm and reduced the power requirements even further. I hope I'm right because if so that's a true breakthrough.
- GistNoesis 6y agoThey seem to be using a lot of chip surface to do some passive components (big featureless area) that are needed for the analog part. Going to 5nm will make the chip more expensive. The 5 micro-watts of power come from RF harvesting where they are constrained by law to only emit less than 2W. Bringing the emitter closer, they probably can afford a bigger power budget. It would be great if they could 10x the sampling frequency.
