Abstract: The discovery, then invention, of the transistor sits almost exactly midway between Ferdinand Braun's discovery of solid-state rectification in 1874 and the modern era of gigascale ICs. As with other epoch-shattering inventions, the story of the transistor isn't quite as neatly linear as some recountings might suggest. Very few EEs have ever heard of […]
Abstract: High performance fractional-N phase-locked loops (PLLs) are essential elements of any advanced electronic systems. In recent years, both analog and all-digital PLLs employing sampling or sub-sampling phase detector have gained popularity and demonstrated below 100-fs integrated jitter and superior figure-of-merit. This talk focuses on this PLL architecture and elaborates the advanced design techniques to […]
Abstract: Nothing screams “noob” like the use of too many digits. For example, you report that your amp has 78.37dB of gain… and you’ve blown it! Now, everybody thinks you have no idea what you’re doing. Tragic! But all this can be prevented. Learning to use the right number of digits is easy. In this […]

Register here: https://ieee.webex.com/weblink/register/r460fb13603a78ca0bf3b77293d2b690e Abstract: Silicon photonics systems integrate photonic components such as optical waveguides, couplers, resonators, photodetectors, etc. along with electronic components on the same silicon chip to realize high-bandwidth, high-density, and low-power communication via wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). This talk will address the challenges of modeling and simulating silicon photonics WDM transceivers in SystemVerilog, which contain photonic devices for WDM signaling, analog interface […]
Abstract: Augmented reality is a set of technologies that will fundamentally change the way we interact with our environment. It represents a merging of the physical and the digital worlds into a rich, context aware and accessible user interface delivered through a socially acceptable form factor such as eyeglasses. One of the biggest challenges in realizing […]
