The IoT is Changing IC Design

The internet of things (IoT) promises to change how we interact with the world. Sensors and cameras will capture exabytes of data, process it and then adjust heating, lighting, locks, alarms and countless other things in order to make our lives easier and our world more efficient. Analysts at Gartner project that there will be 20 billion internet-connected devices by 2020. These devices will include everything from vending machines, cars, to home sensors and environmental controls. Each of these devices will require integrated circuits (ICs) that contain embedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with the environment. The demands and constraints on these ICs are significantly going to alter IC design.
