Clock-Frequency Switching Technique for Energy Saving of Microcontroller Unit (MCU)-Based Sensor Node

Abstract: In this paper; a technique is proposed for reducing the energy consumption of microcontroller-based sensor nodes by switching the operating clock between low and high frequencies. The proposed concept is motivated by the fact that if the application codes of the microcontroller unit (MCU) consist of no-wait state instruction sets, it consumes less energy when it operates with a higher frequency. When the application code of the MCU consists of wait instruction sets; e.g., a wait acknowledge signal, it switches… Show more

“…Normalized values facilitate the comparison of various microcontroller architectures by showing the energy expenditure for each operation or instruction, regardless of the time taken. Authors in [20] propose the usage of a clock-frequency switching technique that can reduce the energy consumption of microcontroller-based sensor nodes. The concept of reducing energy consumption is based on switching the operating clock between low and high frequencies, depending on the application codes of the microcontroller unit (MCU).…”

“…where η = πf A 2c 2 is a dimensionless parameter useful for quantifying the relativistic contribution to the measurement. Let δ be the smallest time difference that we can measure through a measurement system (clock cycle of a CPU [10] or MCU [4], oscillation of a quartz using piezoelectricity [1]) and ∆ be the duration of the experiment. Then, ∆ = δ τ 0 ∆τ .…”
