Abstract
The smart sensor plays an important role for Internet of Things (IoT) development in the past few years. Due to the fast advance of IC fabrication and electronic design automation technologies, integrating a smart sensor design into a single chip has become practical. To assist the MEMS sensor teams in Taiwan academia to accelerate their smart sensor development, this paper presents a smart sensor development platform which consists of a common platform unit and a sensor unit. Our proposed smart sensor development platform provides the solutions of FPGA-based design, Smart Sensor on Chip (SSoC) design, and Smart Sensor in Package (SSiP) design for smart sensor development. The design flow and deliverables for the SSoC and SSiP smart sensor implementations are also presented in this paper. The proposed smart sensor common platform unit was taped out with UMC 0.18um process to perform the silicon proof. Moreover, this paper also presents a modularized wireless sensor system, MorSensor, to facilitate the smart sensor system demonstration. A case study for the FPGA-based smart sensor is also given in this paper. The experiment results show that the presented smart sensor platform is very suitable for smart sensor development, while MorSensor is suitable for the smart sensor system demonstration.
