SHORT COURSE<br />

Thursday February 9 th , 10:30 AM<br />

Christian Enz is currently Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL),<br />

Director of the Microengineering Institute and head of the IC Lab. Until April 2013 he was VP<br />

at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) heading the Integrated and<br />

Wireless Systems Division.<br />

10:30 AM SC2: Integrated DC-DC Converters for Low-Power<br />

Applications: From Discrete Towards Fully-Integrated-<br />

CMOS Power Management<br />

Michiel Steyaert, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium<br />

In this session, trends and techniques towards fully integrated CMOS DC-DC converters for<br />

low-power applications are studied. Both inductive and capacitive DC-DC converters are<br />

analyzed towards the objective of full integration with external components. The required onchip<br />

components, such as inductors, capacitors and switches, are discussed. Different<br />

control-loop techniques are presented in order to achieve high integration density and meet<br />

low ripple requirements. Many recent design techniques, such as multi-core, gearbox and<br />

SPCR (Scalable Parasitic Charge Redistribution) are studied. Different design styles, both<br />

boost and buck, are analyzed and compared with classical LDO regulators.<br />

Michiel Steyaert received the Ph.D. degree from KU Leuven in 1987. In 1988, he was Visiting<br />

Assistant Professor at UCLA. In 1989, he was appointed as part-time Associate Professor<br />

and Research Director at MICAS, KU Leuven, where he is now a Full Professor. He was the<br />

Chair of the EE Department from 2005 until 2012, and now serves as Dean of the Faculty of<br />

Engineering.<br />

Prof. Steyaert has co-authored over 500 papers and over 24 books. He received ESSCIRC<br />

Best Paper Awards in 1990 and 2001, IEEE ISSCC Evening Session Awards in 1995 and 1997,<br />

ISSCC Top Contributor Awards in 2003 and 2013 (the only European researcher to receive<br />

both). He became an IEEE Fellow in 2003.<br />

1:20 PM SC3: Ultra-Low-Power References and Oscillators<br />

Dennis Sylvester, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI<br />

This talk reviews the state of the art in ultra-low-power voltage references as well as RC<br />

oscillators and 32kHz crystal oscillators. The focus is on sub-µW designs, including many<br />

in the sub-nW range. Threshold-based references and bandgap references are discussed, as<br />

well as oscillators with power consumptions that range from pW with relatively poor<br />

temperature and line sensitivities, to tens of nW with excellent frequency stability.<br />

Dennis Sylvester received a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley and is a Professor<br />

of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He<br />

has published over 400 articles along with one book and several book chapters, and holds<br />

31 US patents. His research interests include the design of millimeter-scale computing<br />

systems and energy efficient near-threshold computing. He is co-founder of Ambiq Micro, a<br />

fabless semiconductor company developing ultra-low-power mixed-signal solutions for<br />

compact wireless devices. He is an IEEE Fellow.<br />

3:20 PM SC4: Micropower ADCs<br />

Kofi Makinwa, Delft University of Technology,<br />

Delft, The Netherlands<br />

Micropower ADCs, i.e. ADCs that dissipate less than 1mW, have become critical components<br />

of autonomous systems for the IoT. In this short course, the basic principles of micropower<br />

SAR and delta-sigma ADCs will be discussed. It will then be shown how these two well-known<br />

techniques can be combined to realize hybrid ADCs that can achieve both micropower and<br />

high (> 14-bit) resolution.<br />

Kofi Makinwa is a Professor at Delft University of Technology. His main research interests<br />

are in the design of analog circuits and sensor interfaces. This has resulted in over 200<br />

publications. He is an IEEE fellow, an ISSCC top-10 contributor, and a co-recipient of 13 best<br />

paper awards, from the JSSC, ISSCC, ESSCIRC, Transducers and ISCAS among others.<br />
