Abstract
A 65nm 25MHz ultra-low-voltage microcontroller SoC is implemented with an embedded all-digital adaptive voltage scaling system, a glitch-masking instruction cache with no miss latency and a robust clock tree for low-voltage timing closure. It achieves 7µW/MHz power consumption in active mode, 1.5µW sleep power and 0.66mm² area to save on carbon footprint of sensor nodes.
