Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Integrated circuits and systems are unambiguous parts of modern sensors and, in some cases, co-integrated with them on the same silicon die. The advancement of integration technology allows us to implement sophisticated signal conditioning and processing techniques around the actual sensing element in both the analog and digital domains. This has opened the way for intelligent and Internet of Things sensors of miniature size, with signal processing and feature extraction (Edge AI) as well as wireless communication capabilities. Smart sensing is essential in many modern devices and applications, such as in cellphones, autonomous cars and vessels, household appliances, health monitoring, industrial equipment control systems, environmental probing and field detection, and many others.
The Special Issue “Integrated Circuit and System Design for Smart Sensors” focuses on the development of advanced sensor front-end integrated circuit architectures and implementations, aiming towards a wide variety of applications. Both original research and survey (review) papers are welcomed.
Topics of interest and applications for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Analog/digital integrated circuits for smart sensors.
- Analog data signal conditioning circuits.
- In-and-near memory processing for edge computing.
- Ultra-low power, sub-threshold sensor’s circuits.
- Biologically inspired sensor circuits and systems.
- Low-cost wearable sensor circuits and systems.
- Flexible integrated circuits and systems for sensors.
- Integrated sensors for predictive maintenance.
- IoT sensor circuits and systems.
- Intelligent (AI) sensor circuits and systems.
- Radar/RF/acoustic sensor circuits and systems.
- Integrated sensors for medical and automotive applications.
- Integrated sensors for control and automation applications.
Experimental or simulation results validating the proposed architecture or system are required.
Best regards,

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. Sensors 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 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.
