These interviews with SSCS experts were produced with the young engineer in mind. Hear the varied views of multiple experts on 
fundamental topics and edited down to a few minutes. To download transcripts and explore related links to the programs, scroll over the center of a program to see those links.
- IEEE Medal of Honor Recipient (2009): Dr. Robert Dennard
This program highlights the career of the 2009 IEEE Medal of Honor recipient Dr. Robert Dennard for his contributions to microelectronics that have made increased computing power and communications tools accessible to the masses. (content available to public)
- Sources of Innovation
Looking to refresh your well of circuit design ideas? Hear the tips of experts on how to nurture new ideas. Steve Kosonocky, IBM Asad Abidi, UCLA and LUMS Terri Fiez, Oregon State University Richard C. Jaeger, Auburn University Akira Matsuzawa, Tokyo Institute of Technology Charlie Sodini, MIT Takuo Sugano, Toyo University Heard at the Symposia on VLSI.
- Device versus Circuit Engineer
What's the difference between circuit engineers and device engineers? They often have conferences together, have publications with both terms in titles. Hear from experts in the field how they are different and the value of knowing something about what the other experts know.
- Fabricating a Prototype
Find out how students and small firms make their own small quantity test runs of ICs. Mentioned from around the world are organizations for collaboration, to get hi tech as well as cost effective fabrication. The basic steps from reviewing a design kit, through layout and tape-out are outlined.
- EDUCATION FOR ANALOG ICs
In contemporary electronics 80% of a chip may perform digital functions but the 20% of analog functions may take 80% of the development time. Analog design is demanding, the training rigorous, and educating a designer is a custom business at universities and research facilities. To become good, students will design, layout, fabricate and test their own circuits. They will be familiar with modeling tools and multiple systems including signal processing, digital and rf. And to take advantage of all that electronics makes possible, an analog designer will be a team player working with many other professionals. Even after completing formal school, a top notch designer often reads 250 papers a year, many from fields at the fringes of his background, and discusses them with others as part of a peer review committee.
- ANALOG TO DIGITAL TYPES
Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) is at the heart of entertainment electronics and real world capture and replay.
Four fundamental types of analog to digital converters are described by expert circuit designers and frequent presenters at the VLSI Symposium on Circuits. Successive approximation, flash, pipeline, and delta sigma. The experts are Asad Abidi of UCLA and Terri Fiez of Oregon State University. - ANALOG TO DIGITAL TRAITS
Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) is at the heart of entertainment electronics and real world capture and replay.
ADC Traits Speed and accuracy are the two fundamental traits that characterize analog to digital converters. Using electronic cameras and temperature sensors, these basics are illustrated explained. The experts are Charles Sodini, of MIT and former chair of the Symposia on VLSI Circuits and Terri Fiez, Director of EECS at Oregon State University. - CONVERSATIONS from CICC
This program highlights the 2005 IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference covering the latest in integrated circuits, the software to design them, and trends for the future.
