| Abstract: There is provided a near-zero-power wakeup system in which a MEMS sensor
for mechanical or acoustic signals is coupled to a very-low-power
complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) application-specific
integrated circuit (ASIC). Power consumption can be minimized by
operating the ASIC with sub-threshold gate voltages. |
