Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices have become widespread in the last several years largely thanks to advances in battery life, communications technology, signal-processing algorithms, electronic fabrication, and manufacturing. In particular, innovative circuit designs in wireless/wireline transceivers, data conversion, clock generation, analog- and digital-signal processing, application-specific processors, and power management have dramatically improved the capabilities of IoT devices and lowered the adoption cost critical for massive IoT deployment. Challenges such as limited battery power, low supply voltage, noise, circuit variability, and cost continue to present bottlenecks for the next generation of IoT devices. Unique solutions through innovations in circuit topologies and architectures, hardware-accelerated signal processing, power-aware design, calibration, and bio-inspired designs are being actively investigated. This issue covers the latest developments in circuit designs for IoT applications with a specific focus on low-power techniques.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
