Sensors Converge 2021

The push for greater intelligence has paved the way for machine learning at the edge of portable, battery-powered devices. While enabling greater privacy and performance, such devices are power-inefficient because they’re designed to digitize a vast amount of (mostly irrelevant) sensor data. To extend battery life, designers can choose more power-efficient components, use analog for computation in digital chips, or select an analogML chip to classify data at the start of the signal chain.
