In this paper the results of an extensive literature study on Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) electronics is presented. It discusses an emerging application area, which is characterised by very strong power requirements, called ULP electronics. It aims to evaluate possible applications to derive the requirements that emerging trend in circuits must meet and to recognise as far as possible the challenges,...
