At the 2018 International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, imec together with Renesas Electronics Corporation announced a low-voltage (0.8V) ultra-low-power Bluetooth 5 transceiver for IoT applications. The low supply voltage – the lowest among state-of-the-art – enables a longer battery life (up to 50% improvement).   In the Internet of Things (IoT), numerous tiny sensor nodes are embedded in our environment. Reducing the power consumption and enabling operation at low supply...
