Zusammenfassung

Communication gains impact with increasing miniaturization and densities in sensor- and actuator networks, especially in the context of robotics and sensorial materials. System-On-Chip design on Register-Transfer-Logic (RTL) level using FPGA and ASIC technologies enables 1. small sized integration of sensors and data processing units (DPU) scaled down to one-chip designs using ASIC- and MEMS technology, and 2. satisfies low power requirements, required especially for high-density sensor networks sourced by environmental energy (energy harvesting).
