Autonomous Distributed Systems - Application of Ultra Low Power Technology

Abstract

The primary goal of this STTR was the identification of specific components within the Deployable Autonomous Distributed System electronics that would benefit most from Ultra-Low-Power technology by examining their requirements and application environments. Specifically, the selection of a processor device was targeted. The application of Ultra-Low-Power electronics to the Processor Module of the current DADS can save significant power, especially in the Digital Signal Processing, and widescale application in the 2010 implementation of the DADS can save even more power, using SoC technology to increase functionality and reduce area. Advances in our ULP technology will keep us well ahead of the state-of-the-art up through the 2010 implementation.
