Wireless sensor nodes function as an interface that sense, transmit/receive information, and to actuate a physical environment. These sensor nodes are typically powered using a coin cell battery or an energy constrained harvesting source, to support a smaller form-factor. Internet of Things (IoT) applications that are operating under such energy constrained environment typically use a heavily duty-cycled operation of its sensor nodes to maximize their battery lifetime to > 10 years. The always ON power management circuits serve as the limiting factor to achieve a high battery lifetime. This course discusses the power management unit specifications and requirements of an ultra-low power IoT sensor node. In particular, circuit techniques to achieve high power conversion efficiency across a wide dynamic range of load currents, ultra low power voltage reference and timer circuits, and energy metering circuits are discussed in detail.
