Recording: Click here to view Part I of the talk. The humble analog delay is simple in principle but complicated in practice. Analog delays are useful in analog filters, distributed amplifiers, and time-interleaved or pipelined analog signal processing. Unfortunately, it can be quite tricky to delay a continuous-time broadband analog
Over the past ten years, the data rate of cellular communication networks has increased by 100x. The next-generation software-defined-radio based wireless transmission in mmWave bands demands multi-GHz bandwidth digital-to-analog conversion with medium to high resolution (e.g., 14-16 bit) and sampling rates beyond 10GS/s. The rate of bandwidth increase and the
Power has become the key driving force in processor as well AI specific accelerator designs as the frequency scale-up is reaching saturation. In order to achieve low power system, circuit and technology co-design is essential. This talk focuses on related technology and important circuit techniques for nanoscale VLSI circuits. Achieving

LC VCOs are commonly used for RF carrier generation. A wide tuning range in a single VCO is desirable for covering multiple bands while occupying a small area. An octave tuning range enables continuous coverage of all lower frequencies by integer frequency division. LC VCOs are most often tuned using
Network-based telemetry is embedded into virtually all modern products and systems in order to create new value for end users. Think of the Tesla automobile, that can update its own operating software, so the brakes work better! Pre-university ECE students need exposure to the hardware and protocols used in Internet-of-Things
Progress in computation and communication is increasingly bottlenecked by integrated circuit I/0. CMOS technology scaling has enabled the integration of hundreds of complete modems operating over 100Gbps on a single chip. Whereas optical links were previously reserved for communication over 100's of kilometres, they are now the primary solution for
