Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ability to sense, communicate, and harvest energy in a prevalent and continuous manner is fundamental to the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI), automotives, and medical devices. As the bridge between the physical and cyber worlds, analog mixed-signal (AMS) integrated circuits are a critical foundational technology. While micromachined sensors, transducers, and actuators provide the necessary conversion of signals and energy from one form to another, AMS circuits play the indispensable role of conditioning them with high precision and efficiency, which ultimately governs the proficiency of sensor systems. Furthermore, AMS computing is attracting growing attention as a new paradigm for deploying AI accelerators on the edge. As such, advanced design of integrated AMS electronics and microsystems with a strong emphasis on extreme energy and area efficiency provides the keystone toward ubiquitous sensing and intelligence. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on state-of-the-art AMS circuits and systems in the scope of smart sensor systems, covering topics of (1) ultra-low-power sensor readout circuits, sensor-driving circuits, and MEMS-CMOS codesigns; (2) high-efficiency solid-state and micromachined energy harvesting systems; (3) miniature medical instruments and imaging devices; and (4) energy-efficient AMS computing circuits.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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.
