Symbol E_cycle
What this part means
the energy spent in one full wake-sense-infer-sleep cycle, the first two terms are housekeeping power integrated over the time spent in each state, and inferences each cost a measured .
Its job in the formula
ycle is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

The passage around this formula
where is the energy spent in one full wake-sense-infer-sleep cycle, the first two terms are housekeeping power integrated over the time spent in each state, and inferences each cost a measured . Every term in that expression should be a number taken off a current probe at the actual rail, not a value copied from a component’s datasheet, because sleep current in particular is notorious for being dominated not by the processor but by whichever peripheral, pull-up, or leakage path the design forgot to disable.
