In this year, AMSV got 4 papers and 2 Student Research Previews accepted in ISSCC 2015. PhD students Chi-Hang Chan and Zhicheng Lin presented their papers, entitled “A 5.5mW 6b 5GS/s 4-times Interleaved 3b/cycle SAR ADC in 65nm CMOS” and “A 0.028mm2 11mW Single-Mixing Blocker-Tolerant Receiver with Double-RF N-Path Filtering, S11 Centering, +13dBm OB-IIP3 and 1.5-to-2.9dB NF”. Both PhD Students will receive the Pre-Doctoral Achievement Award in the conference too. Our Faculty Staff, Dr. Yan Lu, presented two papers, ” A 123-Phase DC-DC Converter-Ring with Fast-DVS for Microprocessors” and ”A 2-/3-Phase Fully-Integrated Switched-Capacitor DC-DC Converter in Bulk-CMOS for Energy-Efficient Digital Circuits With 14% Efficiency Improvement” in ISSCC 2015.
Two posters are presented at the Student Research Preview also. The presented works are from the research works of PhD Students Ka-Meng Lei, ”A Multi-Step Multi-Sample µNMR Relaxometer Using Inside-Magnet Digital Microfluidics and a Butterfly-Coil-Input CMOS Transceiver”, and Jianyu Zhong, ”A 12b 180MS/S 0.068mm2 Full-Calibration-Integrated Pipelined-SAR ADC”.
