Abstract—Low-power, single-chip integrated systems are prevailing in sensor applications due to the increasing need of long battery life. The aim of this paper is to describe the implementation of a low-power, 16-bit RISC microcontroller that will act as the core of a sensor system. It is designed using 0.35-µm CMOS process from XFAB. The power consumption of the microcontroller is 0.36mW operating at 1MHz with a 1.8V power supply.
