PSyLab is presenting 2 papers at ISSCC this year!
Hikmet (Seha) Ozturk will be presenting a paper describing a computationally inspired approach to designing accurate, highly compact CMOS thermal sensors which can withstand supply-voltage noise and operate reliably over a wide voltage range. The work is based on ideas in sensor fusion and Principal Component Analysis (Yes, it’s still a circuits paper 🙂 ).
Julian will be presenting his work on a Digitally Reconfigurable IVR (DRIVR) fabric that presents one approach to overcoming the challenge in IVR – how can we build efficient IVRs that can scale to the number of domains in modern SoCs and in emerging 3DHI systems? The approach is based on important insights on Thermal Design Power, and addresses important challenges with run-time reconfigurability such as on-the-fly module-domain assignment. The paper also demonstrates the first known fused-control hierarchical IVR architecture.
I’m especially proud and heartened by how every single member of the group rallied around them to help them mount successful test chips, and ISSCC submissions, even as they were busy with their own projects.
Check out their ISSCC presentations in Feb, or wait for the papers on our webpage after the Conference to learn more!
