BWRC’s PicoCube project is a
recipient of the 2008 DAC Student Design Contest award for excellence in the
design of electronic systems.
The
PicoCube
is a 1cm3 sensor node using harvested energy as its only source of power.
Operating at an average of only
6 μW for a
tire-pressure application, it
represents a modular and integrated approach to the design of nodes for
wireless sensor networks. It combines advanced ultra-low power circuit
techniques with system-level power management. A practical and simple
packaging approach allows for the
compaction of the many modules comprising the node into 1 cm3 in a reliable
fashion. Key contributors to this project are Yuen-Hui Chee, Mike Koplow,
Michael Mark, Nathan Pletcher, Mike Seeman, and Dan Steingart (students),
Fred Burghardt (BWRC staff), Jan Rabaey, Paul Wright, and Seth Sanders
(faculty). Nate Pletcher and Mike Seeman will present the Cube at ISSCC in
February and at DAC in June. Congratulations to the PicoCube group for this
important accomplishment.
