Technical Seminar

From I-25, take Harmony Road Exit (Exit 265) westbound, and enter AMD campus on right immediately following Harmony/Ziegler intersection.  AMD is located on the NW corner of Harmony Road and Ziegler Road.  Proceed to 3rd floor for escort to seminar auditorium.  Non-AMD employees:  please arrive at 9:45am for security sign-in and escort.

Various methods of building on-chip temperature sensors will be reviewed. Performance requirements for on-chip temperature sensors needed for power/thermal management will be discussed. New approaches for building on-chip temperature sensors  for multi-site  temperature monitoring  for power/thermal management in  fine-feature processes will be presented. Techniques for designing temperature sensors which provide a Boolean representation of temperature  without requiring either an ADC or a voltage reference will be introduced.
