Autonomous Low-Power Systems-on-Chip for in-vivo and in-vitro Biomedical Applications

In this talk we will present several SoCs for biomedical applications: implantable multiparameter body monitoring device and a complex impedance analyzer for Organ-on-Chip applications. Both devices require ultra-low power consumption, both are operated in an inaccessible region and are operated from a battery. Therefore, the devices must operate autonomously and require a finite state machine, to perform a sequence turning the sensor node on and off, performing the sensing operation and transmitting the measured result to the outer world. The power management unit will be also addressed, as well as the radio unit for transmitting the data steam. Two low-power SoCs will be presented realized in 22nm FDSOI and 12nm LP+ of Globalfoundries.
