| Description | We developed ways for performing smart computations for energy harvesting powered systems, and variable power supply. A concept of energy-modulated computing has been developed. New types of self-timed electronics circuits such as first speed-independent SRAM and reference-free voltage sensors, have been developed and demonstrated. New concepts of energy-modulation through the causality involved in the use of energy current for computing - this has been reported in the paper in Phil. Trans. of Royal Society A "Energy current and computing". |
| Exploitation Route | These findings can be used to build new generation of electronics for Internet of Things and autonomous systems. |

| Description | The project showed how to design electronics to work in systems powered by energy harvested from the environment. For example, we designed new types of sensors, such as those based on charge to code conversion. They can be used for environment monitoring systems or implantable devices. More knowledge on the holistic approach in designing systems without batteries have been found. It is reported in the key paper in IEEE TC "Real-Power Computing", which talks about the importance of power-compute codesign. |
