Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of ultra-scaled integrated technologies has paved the way to the integration of complex electronic systems in a reduced area, while maintaining a low power consumption.
In fact, mobile devices are now competitive in terms of both computational performance and efficiency. We are witnessing the rise of edge-computing devices and a consequent increase in interest towards all circuit architectures and electron devices able to break the performance–power consumption trade-off.
Digital algorithms to fix analog impairments, low-power frequency synthesizers, efficient digital power amplifiers, high-resolution ADCs and DACs, hardware-synthesized neural networks, wake-up radio, and low-power computing techniques are the foundation of the Internet of Things revolution.
In this context, this Special Issue aims to examine the recent breakthroughs in electron devices and solid-state circuits and the next design challenges that should be faced in the edge-computing era.
Manuscripts are solicited on topics related but not limited to the following:
- CMOS and SOI technology for low-power design, modelling and methodology issues and solutions.
- Power-consumption-aware analog and digital design.
- Analysis and comparison among efficient digital algorithms for edge data manipulation.
- Comparison or proposal of new architectures for low-power transceivers.
- Analysis and efficiency optimization of system blocks of transceivers (PLL, VCO, DPA, ADC, DAC, etc.).
- Methodologies for optimized hardware for neural networks in edge computing. Manuscripts may either present original research results or comprehensive reviews on specific topics in the field of Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
