market, determine the optimal circuit design. Mm-wave 5G creates
n u m e r o u s o p p o r t u n it i e s at the
architecture/circuit/device level.
We have some exciting times ahead
of us.
Concluding the talk, a attendees
and the speaker discussed the outlook and challenges surrounding the
power amplifier and the coexistence
of standards. Some participants

asked questions about the PLL's role
in the phase noise performance and
consumption.

IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society
(SSCS) Distinguished Lecturer Tod
Dickson visited the SSCS Utah Chapter on 17 July 2020. During his talk,
" High-Speed CMOS Serial Transmitters for 56-112-Gb/s Electrical Interconnects, " Dickson described
Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MSSC.2020.3021934
Date of current version: 18 November 2020

state-of-the-art high-speed wireline transmitters. He presented the
trend of moving from nonreturn-tozero to pulse-amplitude modulation
signaling for high-speed communications and discussed architectural
and circuit innovations to solve the
challenges for >100-Gb/s rates. For
the first time, due to coronavirus restrictions, the lecture was held vir-

tually over Zoom. Roughly 20 local
industry members, students, and
faculty from the University of Utah
and Brigham Young University attended the event.
