Instructor Ayman Fayed will be presenting a paper at the International Solid State Circuits conference this February 20-24 in San Francisco, CA. The paper, Spurious-noise-Free Buck Regulator for direct powering of analog/RF loads using pwM control with Random Frequency hopping and Random phase chopping will be presented in session 22 (February 23rd):
“A PWM-controlled DC-DC buck regulator with random frequency hopping and phase chopping is proposed and implemented in 0.35?m CMOS. The design eliminates all spurs at the output of the converter and maintains a -70dBm noise floor peak with negligible overhead on power and area. The implementation also eliminates duty cycle disturbance and transients associated with it due to hopping.”
Instructor Fayed will also be presenting a tutorial at The IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) this May 15-18 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Integrated Power Management Circuits for mixed-signal Systems-on-Chip will be presented on May 15th.
Dr. Fayed presents his new course Power Conversion & Regulation Circuits for VLSI Systems this February 28 – March 2. With the growing demand in semiconductor industries for expertise in this area, there is a serious shortage in engineers who have the necessary background combination to design efficient and cost-effective solutions for such loads. This course will introduce the fundamental principles of power conversion/regulation circuits such as Linear/switching regulators and battery chargers used in VLSI systems.
