Abstract |
MEMS inertial sensors are used to measure the
acceleration and angular rate of a subject.
Compared with traditional inertial sensors, the
MEMS inertial sensor has the advantages of small
form factor, light weight, low power and low cost.
MEMS inertial sensors can be found in many
applications, such as gaming, control,
positioning, and navigation. Among them,
navigation application requires high resolution
and low bias instability. The existing MEMS
inertial sensors have yet to meet these
requirements for inertial navigation. This talk
will introduce the concepts and operating
principles of MEMS accelerometers based on
displacement and force sensing, and the tuning
fork gyroscopes. The talk will then present a
high-performance MEMS oscillating accelerometer
with CMOS readout circuit, which demonstrated, for
the first time, a sub-μg bias instability. An
open-loop mode-split tuning fork gyroscope
achieving a sub-degree bias instability will also
be presented. |

Abstract |
Cell and brain interfacing has gained a lot of
interest in recent years. Thanks to advancements
in technology scaling, current state-of-the-art
systems are able to record the electrical activity
down to single neuron resolution from several
hundreds of recordings sites at the same time.
This is a critical tool for neuroscientist to help
understand how our brain operates. In recent years
also stimulation has gained a lot of interest.
Neural stimulation serves a lot of potential
applications like restoring bodily functions for
disabled people, suppressing pain,
brain-computer-interfaces and Parkinson’s disease.
This tutorial will focus on the circuit techniques
and technologies to enable such high-density
neural recording and stimulation. It will go from
high-level system design aspects, to
processing/technology aspects (electrodes) and
will end with specific circuit design techniques. |

Abstract |
Wearable and implantable medical devices can
enable new approaches to the diagnosis and
treatment of human diseases. Design and
implementation of sensors and neural interfaces
that are non-invasive or minimally invasive are
essential for viability of such devices. In this
talk we will focus on miniaturized devices that
are wireless and highly energy-efficient. First
an ultra-low-power sensor for continuous
measurement of glucose and lactate will be
presented. This minimally invasive wireless
device can be injected just under the skin, and
designed to have high dynamic range and high
resolution. In the second example, we introduce
a closed-loop neural interface for seizure
detection and prevention. In this project,
hardware efficient classification and feature
extraction techniques are utilized to enhance
the performance and energy-efficiency of the
system. |

Intelligent Internet of Things (IIoT) will require
diverse embedded non-volatile memories
(eNVM). eNVM is used in: wearable medical
networks, car networks, smart home and building
networks, traffic control networks and public
utility networks. These, together with other
networks, will form eventually smart
interconnected cities using millions of processors
with eNVM. Varieties of eNVM will be needed
to satisfy the diverse requirements of these
networks ranging from single poly EEPROMs to large
3D RRAM neuromorphic processors. eRRAM, eMRAM,
eCBRAM, ePCM and eFeRAM with differing properties
will also be needed. |

| Speaker | Dr. Gladstone Randall Gladstone earned a B.Sc in Geophysics and Astronomy from the University of British Columbia. He also holds an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Planetary Science from the California Institute of Technology. After several university assignments, Dr Gladstone joined the Southwest Research Institute in 1993 and today he is the Program Director for the Space Science Directorate in the Space Science and Engineering Division. Dr. Gladstone is a planetary scientist specializing in radiative transfer and the study of upper atmospheres. His research interests include the terrestrial and jovian aurora and airglow, extreme and far ultraviolet scattering problems, hydrocarbon photochemistry, and the evolution of planetary atmospheres. He has published over 190 technical papers in refereed journals, on subjects including the Sun, Earth, Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, Triton, Pluto, and the primitive solar system. Although primarily a theorist, Dr. Gladstone is also a regular user of several NASA satellite observatories, including the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Chandra. Currently, he is Atmospheres Lead for the New Horizons Pluto mission (New Frontiers 1), Instrument Lead for the UVS instrument on the Juno mission to Jupiter (New Frontiers 2), Science Co-I for the LAMP instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission, PI for the UVS instrument on ESA’s |
| Abstract | For Juno—NASA’s second New Frontiers mission—the
major science goals are to investigate and
characterize Jupiter’s origin, interior,
atmosphere, and polar magnetosphere. Juno’s
elongated polar orbit enables nine different
instruments to contribute to these diverse goals,
mostly during north to south perijove passes at
only about 3000 km above the cloud tops, which
reoccur about every 53 days. Excellent data from
the first 7 science orbits (of 34 planned) have
been acquired to date, with the next perijove
scheduled for October 24, 2017. In this talk an
overview of the results from the first year of
Juno’s science observations at Jupiter will be
presented. |

| Topic/Title | Fast, Small,
Efficient: The Series Capacitor Buck Converter |
|---|---|
| Speaker | Pradeep Shenoy Pradeep Shenoy is a Systems Engineer in the buck switching regulators business unit at Texas Instruments. His area of expertise is high frequency, small size voltage regulators. He received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He received the Illinois International Graduate Achievement Award in 2010 and the Jack Kilby Award for Innovation in 2015. He serves as the North America Regions Chair of the IEEE Power Electronics Society. |
| Abstract | This presentation will introduce the series capacitor buck dc-dc converter developed at Texas Instruments. Point-of-load voltage regulators typically use buck converters operating in the hundreds of kHz range. Their size is dominated by passive components, especially inductors. The series capacitor buck topology overcomes conventional high frequency challenges and enables efficient operation in the multi-MHz range. The topology is a unique hybrid of a switched capacitor circuit and a buck converter. This presentation will overview the operation, control, and implementation of a 2-5 MHz series capacitor buck converter and include sample results with comparisons to state-of-the-art buck converters. |

Dr Yong Ping Xu, graduated from Nanjing
University, China in 1977, received his PhD from
University of New South Wales (UNSW) Australia, in
1994. He joint University of South Australia as a
lecturer in 1996. Since 1998, he has been with the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering,
National University of Singapore and is currently
an Associate Professor. Prior to his PhD, he
worked for Qingdao Semiconductor Research
Institute as a design engineer, R&D manager
and director from 1978 to 1987. His current
research interests include integrated circuit
designs for MEMS, sensors and biomedical
applications. Dr Xu is currently serving
International Technical Program Committee (ITPC)
of IEEE International Solid-State Circuits
Conference (ISSCC) and VLSI Symposium (VLSI). He
is a member of IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits
Conference (A-SSCC) Steering Committee since 2014.
He was the A-SSCC 2013 Organizing Committee Chair
and TPC member of ASSCC from 2009 to 2013. Dr Xu
is a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Solid-State
Circuits Society. |

Abstract |
MEMS inertial sensors are used to measure the
acceleration and angular rate of a subject.
Compared with traditional inertial sensors, the
MEMS inertial sensor has the advantages of small
form factor, light weight, low power and low cost.
MEMS inertial sensors can be found in many
applications, such as gaming, control,
positioning, and navigation. Among them,
navigation application requires high resolution
and low bias instability. The existing MEMS
inertial sensors have yet to meet these
requirements for inertial navigation. This talk
will introduce the concepts and operating
principles of MEMS accelerometers based on
displacement and force sensing, and the tuning
fork gyroscopes. The talk will then present a
high-performance MEMS oscillating accelerometer
with CMOS readout circuit, which demonstrated, for
the first time, a sub-μg bias instability. An
open-loop mode-split tuning fork gyroscope
achieving a sub-degree bias instability will also
be presented. |
