IEEE SSCS Launches New Society-Sponsored Awards

The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) is proud to announce the
creation of four new awards in 2019.
These awards were created to recognize and distinguish SSCS members.
If you know of any deserving candidates, please nominate them.

The IEEE Brokaw Award for Circuit Elegance, which will honor the legacy and
contributions of Paul Brokaw, was established in 2019. This award was created
to enhance appreciation and encourage innovation of unique, innovative,
simple, smart, and elegant circuit
design. It will be presented to recognize a design that was created during
the past decade and has demonstrated
its viability.
This is an annual award, and up
to three designs may be recognized
in a single year. Eligible candidates
must be SSCS members in good standing, and self-nominations are permitted. Each winning design will receive
a US$10,000 cash prize and up to
US$5,000 for the designer to travel
and attend the International SolidState Circuits Conference in the year
the award is presented. If more than
one individual is responsible for the
design, the cash prize will be split
evenly among the designers.
Nominations must be received in
the year prior to the year the award
is presented: the deadline for subDigital Object Identifier 10.1109/MSSC.2019.2926693
Date of publication: 27 August 2019

missions will be October 15, and the
winner(s) will be notified by December 1. More information about the
Brokaw Award, including eligibility

New Frontier Award

IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society
Innovation Education Award

The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society
New Frontier Award was established
in 2019. This award will recognize and
honor SSCS members in their early
career who are exploring innovative
and visionary technical work within
the field of solid-state circuits. The
award aims to emphasize pioneering developments at the frontiers of
IC design or possess an imminent
potential to expand the field through
new categories of circuit technologies,
system design, and/or emerging applications. Those who receive this award
must be a current SSCS member in
good standing and have received their
highest degree (bachelor's or higher)
within 10 years of the award's application deadline. It will be given annually
to one winner, but only if a suitable
awardee is identified. The winner of

Established in 2019, the IEEE SolidState Circuits Society Innovation
Education Award will recognize and
honor SSCS members in their early/
midcareer, who are making significant contributions to education in
the field of solid-state circuits using
innovative approaches. The award
aims to highlight distinguished and
unique educational methods or programs that have a broad impact on
the education of our community.
Those who receive this award must
be a current SSCS member in good
standing. This award will be given
annually to one winner, but only if
a suitable awardee is identified. The
winner of this award will receive a
plaque and honorarium of US$5,000.
