IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine - Summer 2015 - 5

Seasons" by providing an article
that details the history, design,
operation, and use of the bootstrapped switch.

Welcome Abira
It's my pleasure to welcome our new
news editor, Abira Sengupta (abira.
sengupta@ieee.org), to the IEEE
Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS)
and IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine. Abira comes to the IEEE from
Springer. As news editor, she will
work with Society members to help
disseminate Society news in the

magazine. Welcome Abira! We look
forward to working with you.

The Purpose of the Magazine
The goal of the magazine continues to
be to provide Society news and information as well as a series of self-contained

resources to keep the SSCS member
up to date with changes in technology
while, at the same time, providing reviews of circuit design concepts. This
includes contributions from experts
describing the current state of affairs
and evolution of a particular IC technology. We will also continue to feature
articles focused on the contributions
of luminaries.
We hope you enjoy reading
IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine.
