Digitally-Assisted Analog Circuits and Systems

Lecture / Panel

Speaker: Professor Won Namgoong

Faculty Host: Jonathan Chao

Abstract

With the continued scaling of CMOS process technology, digital computation capabilities have improved exponentially. The integration and design of high-performance analog/RF circuits at these advanced technologies, however, remain a challenge. This talk presents some of our digitally-assisted analog design work, where challenges in modern RF/analog circuit design are mitigated by exploiting the digital signal processing capabilities of scaled processes. In particular, recent developments in frequency channelized high-speed analog-to-digital converters, inertial sensor interface circuitries, and digital phase-locked loops are described. The talk will provide an overview of both recent and ongoing research.
