Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein utilize a vision sensor that integrates a special-purpose camera with dedicated computer vision (CV) computation hardware and a dedicated low-power microprocessor for the purposes of detecting, tracking, recognizing, and/or analyzing subjects, objects, and scenes in the view of the camera. The vision sensor processes the information retrieved from the camera using the included low-power microprocessor and sends "events" (or indications that one or more reference occurrences have occurred, and, possibly, associated data) for the main processor only when needed or as defined and configured by the application. This allows the general-purpose microprocessor (which is typically relatively high-speed and high-power to support a variety of applications) to stay in a low-power (e.g., sleep mode) most of the time as conventional, while becoming active only when events are received from the vision sensor.

Abstract: Reducing the space occupied by a voltage regulation integrated circuit (IC) that includes an inductor is achieved by implementing the inductor as a 3D inductor having windings formed of conductive elements integrated into a lower substrate, a circuit layer, and an upper substrate, and positioning other components within a core space of the 3D inductor in the circuit layer. The space occupied by the inductor is shared with the other circuit components and with the structural layers of the voltage regulation IC. A voltage regulation IC may be a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) that includes an inductor with a capacitor and/or a switching circuit. The inductor is implemented as upper horizontal traces in an upper substrate, lower horizontal traces in a lower substrate, and vertical interconnects in a circuit layer between the upper substrate and the lower substrate, and the conductive elements form the 3D inductor as a rectangular coil.
