Challenges for Silicon

• A multitude of environment / system interfaces

  • Bitrates from 1 bit/s to 5Gbit/s

• Large variation in computational complexity

  • 1 KOPS [control] to 1 TOPS [synthetic video]

• Large variation in power requirements

  • < 100 uW [no battery] to > 1W [mains operated]

• Ubiquity presumes ultra low cost

  • < 10 ct [tagging]

• Design time & effort must be limited
