Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultra-low voltage/power analog and digital designs are highly sought-after for tightly energy- and cost-constrained integrated systems such as sensor nodes for the Internet of Things, implantable devices, always-on or purely energy-harvested systems. The latter mandate extremely low power (even down to few nWs) and low minimum supply voltage (<< 1V) to prolong operations under unfavorable environmental conditions, along with small area occupation, low design effort, and technology/design portability. The primary aim of this Special Issue is to attract original research outcomes related to the theory, design, and application of ultra-low voltage/power circuits and systems. Review papers on the topic are also welcome.

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.
