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.
