Abstract :
A CMOS VLSI system on chip, designed for irrigation control applications was developed. The SoC features include wireless communication capability, data processing, sensor signal acquisition and actuator control. A power saving strategy provides long-term autonomy with standard energy sources. Application software and dedicated software development CAD tools were also implemented in this design effort.
