Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites you to describe and present innovative ideas in relation to the design and application of low-power microelectronics architectures. The current trend towards the integration on one single chip of a whole system requires low-power designs not only due to power budget and energy savings, but also because of autonomy in wearable or IoT devices, self-supplied circuits or the battery lifecycle. Additionally, deep circuit integration may presuppose a high energy dissipation per unit of area, incompatible with a proper performance. In those cases, low power consumption is mandatory. Finally, special attention must be paid to artificial intelligence and power handling. Topics such as privacy and latency make on-edge processing of particular interest in the future, where ultra-low power and area circuits become a must.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Wearable devices;
- Internet of Things;
- Automotive;
- Consumer electronics;
- Biomedical/Healthcare applications;
- Neuromorphic circuits;
- Deep-learning, neural networks, and machine learning hardware applications;
- FPGA-based digital design;
- Sensor applications;
- Power circuit and energy harvesting;
- Low-power design methodology/flow.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
