[SIST Seminar] Cross Coupled CMOS Transconductor Design

ON2024-03-25TAG: ShanghaiTech UniversityCATEGORY: Lecture

Topic:  Cross Coupled CMOS Transconductor Design

Speaker:  Lim Yong Ching, Nangyang Technological University

Date and time:  10:15–11:15, March 26

Venue:  Room 1D-108, SIST

Host:

Abstract:

A transconductor or transfer conductor is a device whose current at the output port is proportional to the potential difference at its input port. In this talk, a method for improving the transconductance linearity while minimizing its silicon area is presented. This talk is derived from the speaker’s paper published in the February 2000 issue of Microelectronic Journal.


Biography:

Dr  Lim’s research interests focus on (1) signal processing for   implementation on silicon and (2) phased array beamformer. Dr Lim is  recipient of (1) the 1996 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society's   Guillemin-Cauer best paper award for one of his papers published in  IEEE  Trans. on CAS and (2) the 1990 IREE (Australia) Norman Hayes  Memorial  best paper award for his paper published in the Journal of  Electrical  and Electronics Engineering (Australia).

Dr Lim is a  Life Fellow of the IEEE. He served as a distinguished  lecturer in IEEE  CAS Society’s distinguished lectures program from  January 2001 to  December 2002. He had served as Editor and Associate  Editor of various  journals and General-chair of several international  conferences.

Before  his retirement from the universities in 2018, he taught  courses on  digital and analogue integrated circuit design, digital  signal  processing, and computer architecture.

Lim Yong Ching was born  in 1953 in Malaysia. He was awarded an ASEAN  (东南亚国家联盟) scholarship to  continue his upper secondary education in  Singapore. He read electrical  engineering in Imperial College, London,  and was awarded the Siemens  Memorial Award for being the top student in  the entrance examination.  He was awarded the 1977 IEE prize for being  the student with the best  all-round performance in the final year  examination. He continued to  read PhD in Imperial on a University of  London studentship.
