EN The growing popularity of edge computing goes hand in hand with the widespread use of systems based on artificial intelligence. There are many different technologies used to accelerate AI algorithms in end devices. One of the more efficient is CMOS technology thanks to the ability to control the physical parameters of the device. This article discusses the complexity of the semiconductor implementation of TinyML edge systems in relation to various criteria. In particular, the influence of the model parameters on the complexity of the system is analyzed. As a use case, a CMOS preprocessor device dedicated to detecting heart rate in wearable devices is used. The authors use the current and weak inversion operating modes, which allow the preprocessor to be powered by cells of the human energy harvesting class. This work analyzes the influence of tuning hyperparameters of the learning process on the performance of the final device. This article analyzes the relationships between the model parameters (accuracy and neural network size), input data parameters (sampling rates) and CMOS circuit parameters (circuit area, operating frequency and power consumption). Comparative analyses are performed using TSMC 65 nm CMOS technology. The results presented in this article may be useful to direct this work with the model in terms of the final implementation as the integrated circuit. The dependencies summarized in this work can also be used to initially estimate the costs of the hardware implementation of the model.
