The Lecture is:
The Challenges of Analog-Mixed-Signal (AMS) in AI-Centric Data Center Infrastructures and Applications
Abstract:
In the era of artificial intelligence, massive volumes of data must be processed efficiently for AI training and information retrieval. These AI-centric applications have led to a sharp increase in computational demands and data throughput, driving a heightened need for faster data speeds, robust signal and power integrity, and optimized power consumption. This presentation will summarize & explore key practical challenges associated with AMS and highlight potential collaboration opportunities between academia and industry to address these technical hurdles.
Biography:
Mr. Lawrence Tse is currently a Chief Scientist/Advisor at Wisewave Semiconductor. Previously, he served as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – Central Engineering (CE) and earlier as Executive Vice President (EVP) of CE-AMS at Marvell Semiconductor from 2021 to 2024. Since 2010, Lawrence held the positions of Senior Vice President (SVP) / Vice President (VP) of Engineering at Inphi Corporation (acquired by Marvell in 2021). During his tenure at Inphi, he assembled and led engineering teams to develop high-performance electrical and optical connectivity solutions for data center, artificial intelligence (AI), and infrastructure applications. Before his role at Inphi, he was VP of Engineering for Wireless Engineering (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM, GPS, etc.) and Central AMS (Power Management, SerDes, HDD Read Channel, etc.) at Marvell, where he grew the wireless engineering team from its inception in 2000. Earlier in his career, he held the position of VP of Engineering at Volterra Semiconductor, a leader in fast-transient advanced point-of-load power management solutions for data center servers. He also served various roles, including VP of Engineering at Chrontel Inc., a provider of high-performance frequency synthesizers, RAMDACs, and data converter solutions for video, graphics, and imaging applications. Additionally, he worked on optoelectronics and clock data recovery (CDR) development at Bell-Northern Research (Nortel). Mr. Tse earned a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Electrical Engineering from McMaster University in Canada and a Master of Science (MS) in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) from the University of California, Berkeley. He holds over 40 U.S. patents in the fields of analog mixed-signal and wireless technologies and is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering.
