The Lecture is:
Design Techniques for Energy-Efficient Analog-to-Digital Converters
Abstract:
The energy efficiency of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) has improved steadily over the past 40 years, with the best-reported ADC efficiency improving by nearly six orders of magnitude over the same period. The best figure-of-merit (FoM) is achieved with a limited class of ADC in terms of resolution and speed, but the coverage of the best FoM ADC has been expended. Many ADCs with the record FoM open up new applications and often incorporate multiple combinations of architectural and circuit innovations. It would be very interesting to follow a path of relentless optimization that could be useful to further expand the operating bandwidth of energy-efficient ADCs. To help along this path, this talk discusses the design techniques that focus on optimizing energy efficiency, involving successive approximation, pipelining, noise-shaping, and continuous-time operation.
Biography:
Prof. CHAE Youngcheol is currently a Professor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Yonsei University in 2003, 2005, and 2009, respectively. After joining Yonsei University in 2012, he leads a Yonsei Mixed-Signal IC group, focusing on innovative analog and mixed-signal circuits and systems for communication, sensing, and biomedical applications. This has resulted in 130+ peer-reviewed journal and conference papers and holds 50+ patents. Especially, his research team reported 60+ State-of-The-Art Chips in JSSC, ISSCC, and Symposium on VLSI Circuits. Prof. CHAE has been serving as a TPC member of the ISSCC, A-SSCC, and CICC. He received the ISSCC 2021 Takuo Sugano Award for Outstanding Far-East Paper, the ISSCC Silkroad Award in 2017, the Outstanding Research Award of Yonsei University (2017, 2019, and 2020), and the Outstanding Teaching Awards of Yonsei University (2013, 2014). He was a guest editor of the Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC) and a distinguished lecturer (DL) of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS).
