▣ Title : “System-level” signal integrity analysis of high-speed links

▣ Speaker : Dong Gun Kam (Ajou University)

▣ Date & Time : Friday, December 13 (4:00 ~ 5:30pm)    

▣ Place : LG Research Building, Room #101

▣ Host : Prof. ByungSub Kim (T. 2382)

▣ Abstract :

 In only the last several years, industry standard serial data rates have rocketed past 10 Gb/s and are quickly approaching 25 Gb/s and higher for backplane and chip-to-chip interconnects. Such high data rates present huge challenges in the design of both passive channel elements such as IC packages, sockets, board material and connectors, and active SERDES devices on system ICs.

This seminar will discuss a range of topics important in the design and analysis of high-speed links from a holistic standpoint, considering I/O circuits and architectures, and including all levels of electrical packaging.

▣ Title : Quasilinear Control

▣ Speaker

: Prof. YongsoonEun(DGIST)

▣ Date

& Time : Friday, June 7 (2:00 ~ 3:30pm)

▣ Place

: LG Research Building, Room #101

▣ Host

: Prof. SangchulWon (Tel. 2221)

▣ Abstract :

 This talk provides an overview of QuasilinearControl (QLC).

QLC

is a set of methods for performance analysis and design of feedback systems

with nonlinear actuators and sensors. The approach of QLC is based on the

method of stochastic linearization, which reduces the nonlinearities of

actuators and sensors to quasilineargains. Unlike the usual, Jacobianlinearization, stochastic linearization is global. The price to pay is that thequasilineargain depends not on the operating point but on all functional blocks and

exogenous signals of the system. Using this approximation, QLC extends

most methods of linear control theory to systems with nonlinear

instrumentation. These include: system type, error coefficients, transients

characteristics, admissible domains, root locus, LQR/LQG, and H∞.

In addition, QLC addresses problems that are specific for systems with

nonlinear actuators and sensors such as simultaneous design of control and

instrumentation, partial and complete performance recovery.

components electrically for a long time. Nowadays, with design complexity to

respond to mobile progress, PKG Substrate, which is critical interface between

chip and PCB, is thought to be more and more important component because it is

quite related with Chip capability.

 Substrate core technologies, future works and

related industry issues are discussed in the seminar.

▣ Abstract :

The

semiconductor industry has been continuously advancing for last fifty years by

removing many challenging technical barriers based on the ingenuity of multiple

disciplines of engineering and science. Driven by the increasing penetration of

mobile internet into the daily life of the global population, the demand on

innovations in semiconductor components is increasingly high. It includes the

traditional push for higher computational power of processors, higher capacity

and interface speed of memory components, and higher bandwidth of wired and

wireless communication. Moreover, we are experiencing breakthroughs in human

interface technologies which enable more effective use of the available

computing and communication power. Another significant push is low power

technologies that expand from chip level power reduction to the power/cooling

optimization of server farms. This talk will address the semiconductor trends

in the human interface and low power technologies.
