Abstract :
Various aspects of the realization of micropower LSI circuits are discussed, from the requirements on CMOS technologies to constraints on systems. Available passive and active devices are reviewed, with emphasis on DC, AC and noise characteristics of transistors at very low currents. Problems and solutions encountered in digital and analog circuits are illustrated with a few examples.
