UK/Ireland SSCS-Chapter Hosts VCO Workshop

O

Over 60 design engineers and students attended a half-day workshop
"Voltage-Controlled Oscillators: State
of the Art and Future Challenges,"
delivered by Pietro Andreani and
Andrea Bevilacqua at the Limerick
office of Analog Devices on 18 February 2016. The workshop was part of
the United Kingdom and Ireland IEEE
Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS)
Chapter's Advanced Topics in Microelectronic Engineering series. Andreani addressed CMOS oscillators, while
Bevilacqua considered their bipolar
counterparts. The workshop was also
live-streamed to a further thirty participants in the United States.
On-site attendees included engineers from Analog Devices itself,
MACOM, ON Semiconductor, and Xilinx,
as well as students from Maynooth University, University College Cork, and the
Microelectronic Circuits Centre Ireland
(http://www.mcci.ie/).

sity of Tokyo, Japan. The lectures
took place at the Institute of Microelectronics at Tsinghua University,
China. More than 35 attendees from
academia and industry were present.
Dr. Hideto Hidaka's talk was "Embedded Flash Memory: Technology,
Circuits to Systems, and MCU/SOC
Applications." Dr. Ikeda presented the
second talk of the day, "Low-Voltage,
Variation Tolerant Design Based on
Asynchronous Gate-Level Hand-Shak-

ing Controlling." Both talks were very
well received. The audience was very
engaged and asked many questions.
The speakers touched upon local
IC activities. Local attendees from
both academia and industry showed
great interest in the two topics covered. The audience was very interested in embedded flash memory and
asynchronous circuits, topics spoken
about very much interested the local
IC design community.
