SUMMARY:Noise-Shaping SAR ADCs: From Discrete Time to Continuous Time
DESCRIPTION:Noise-Shaping (NS) SAR ADCs become popular recently thanks to their low-power and high-resolution features. This presentation first summarizes and benchmarks different discrete-time (DT) NS-SAR implementations in literature. An open-loop duty-cycled residue amplifier is selected as a power-efficient solution to realize high residue gain. Then\, a digital-predicted mismatch error shaping technique is introduced to improve the DAC linearity. The proposed DT NS-SAR ADC achieves 80 dB SNDR\, 98 dB SFDR in a 31.25 kHz bandwidth while consuming 7.3 μW. Next\, the NS-SAR architecture is extended from DT operation to continuous-time (CT) operation. The ADC sampling switch is removed and the loop filter is duty cycled to realize the CT NS-SAR operation. Compared to DT designs\, the CT NS-SAR ADC is easy to drive and has inherent anti-aliasing function. As a proof of concept\, the proposed CT NS-SAR ADC achieves 77 dB SNDR\, 86 dB SFDR a 62.5 kHz bandwidth with a power consumption of 13.5 μW.  Speaker(s): Prof. Pieter Harpe  Agenda:  This talk will be held virtually. The talk will start with speaker introduction followd by a technical session. Afterwards\, a QA session.

SUMMARY:Model it! Robotics Workshop for Pre-University Educators (Kick-Off Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Software development is difficult! Unlike a building plan which can be easily linked to the visible features of the building\, it is difficult to link source code to the system it represents. Beginning programmers often don’t even think about the software design step – they just sit down and start coding. State Chart “Models” provide an alternate viewpoint and facilitate a clear communication of required software/system behavior before any coding takes place.  In this 2-course\, 8-week workshop\, we will review the basic features of state charts and show how this model can be implemented in Arduino C/C++ source code. You will construct a simple line-following robot based on the Raspberry Pi Pico WH board\, then learn how to design firmware that completes a basic line follower challenge and enable your students to compete in a (https://www.cool-mcu.com/pages/ceta).  This training is targeted towards Grade 11/12 Computer or Electronics Engineering Teachers (Ontario TEJ/ICS Curriculum)\, and will be delivered virtually using a Learning Management System\, combined with weekly live Q/A sessions to verify mastery of the material.  When registering\, please complete all address fields\, so we can ship you a robot kit and track in time for the first session!

SUMMARY:IEEE EDS Distinguished Lecture on the 75th Anniversary of the Transistor: Towards Smart Bio-Chemical Sensing Platforms
DESCRIPTION:Multiplexed sensing platforms will be the key enablers of smart electronic systems of the future. Such platforms will require the integration of miniaturized sensor arrays at the system/chip level\, using heterogeneous technologies. While we have made substantial progress in vision\, tactile and auditory sensing applications\, an equivalent of Moore’s law is missing in biological and chemical sensing applications.  With phenomenal advances in semiconductor nanotechnology and printed/flexible electronics\, the stage is now set for a new wave of sensor systems to be equipped with massive sensory functions\, specifically with biological and chemical sensor arrays.  In this talk\, I will present two case studies from our research:  (i) Biosensor systems for point of care diagnostics : the story of managing the sensing of multiple analytes in blood and urine with an eventual goal to realize “Lab on Palm” (ii) Gas sensor systems for environmental monitoring\, breath analysis and hazardous gas leakage detection\, with an eventual goal to realize the “Electronic Nose”  Speaker(s): Navakanta Bhat\,   ***CANCELED***  Agenda:  In this talk\, I will present two case studies from our research:  (i) Biosensor systems for point of care diagnostics : the story of managing the sensing of multiple analytes in blood and urine with an eventual goal to realize “Lab on Palm” (ii) Gas sensor systems for environmental monitoring\, breath analysis and hazardous gas leakage detection\, with an eventual goal to realize the “Electronic Nose”  Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/380387
