April 4, 2019. Eiger Peak is a team of electrical engineering undergraduate seniors working to create a phase-lock loop for their senior project. The team is composed of seven members – Nicholas Bybee, Stuart Anderson, Jacob Atkinson, Reuben Morrell, Anthony Bailey, Mitch Crane and Anton Arriaga, all working under the supervision of professor Armin Tajalli [Link][Link].
March 25, 2020. Prof. Tajalli will present a short-course in Santa Cruz on: “Wireline SerDes Design,” as part of the Mead Courses (www.mead.ch).
June 18, 2019. Our IEEE SSCS (Switzerland Chapter at ETHZ) has been highlighted in the latest IEEE Solid-State Magazine (LINK). This talk was about the latest advancements in the field of wireline communications.
January 16, 2020. Our paper entitled: “Short-Reach and Pin-Efficient Interfaces Using Correlated NRZ” has been accepted for publication in IEEE ISCAS’2020. Congratulations to the team !
January 5, 2020. Our paper entitled: “Power System Emulator Based on PLL Architecture” has been accepted for publication in IEEE ISCAS’2020. Congratulations to Asif Wahid and Sayed Abdullah Sadat !
January 4, 2020. Our paper entitled: “A 1.02-pJ/b 20.83-Gb/s/wire USR transceiver using CNRZ-5 in 16-nm FinFET” has been accepted for publication in IEEE JSSC. This article reports one of the lowest power high-speed links, that can be employed in applications such as High-Performance Computing and Machine Learning [Link].
August 14, 2019. New open positions are available: LCAS is hiring post-docs and PhD students. If you are interested in design of advanced analog circuit for high-speed communication systems, please do not hesitate sending us your CV [armin DOT tajalli AT utah DOT edu].
February 21, 2019. The latest results of our research on Serial Communications will be presented in ISSCC (Forum 5: 56 Gb/s to 112 Gb/s and Beyond: Design Challenges and Solutions in Wireline Communications). The lecture is entitled: Non-Differential Techniques: Multi-Wire Multi-Level I/O [Link].
April 21, 2019. The works of Senior Project students working with LCAS has been accepted for publication in IEEE NEWCAS’2019 (Munich, Germany) ! The paper is entitled: CMOS Amplifier Design Based on Extended gm/ID Methodology. Congratulations to the team: Amin Aghighi, Jacob Atkinson, Nickolas Bybee, Stuart Anderson, Mitchel Crane, Anthony Baily, and Reuben Morell. The team is proposing a very interesting and practical algorithm to design analog circuits based on an extended gm/Id methodology.
May 12, 2019. The works of Senior Project students working with LCAS has been accepted for publication in IEEE MWCAS’2019 (Dallas, US) ! The paper is entitled: Multi-Stage Current-Steering Amplifier Design Based on Extended gm/ID Methodology. Congratulations to the team: Jacob Atkinson, Amin Aghighi, Stuart Anderson, Mitchel Crane, and Anthony Baily. This article is based on an extension to the earlier work of this group.
