As every engineer learns at an early stage, clock edges must be obeyed. In the digital domain, synchronization through global and local clock trees, slew rate and rising/falling times all combine to ...

When we speak of “signal integrity,” or SI, we refer to a idealized digital signal that offers clean, fast transitions; stable and valid logic levels; accurate placement in time; and freedom from ...

The relentless pursuit of higher performance and greater functionality has propelled the semiconductor industry through several transformative eras. The most recent shift is from traditional ...

To achieve gains in power, performance, area, and cost, 3D-IC architectures are pushing electronics design to new limits. Silicon integration technology and associated devices have undergone an ...

Long before signal integrity gained recognition as a key engineering requirement, Richard Mellitz researched measuring and analyzing electrical signals, even in his early days as an engineer with ...

The current state of engineers working in analog signal-path engineering. Who they are, their ages, experience, and their time in the practice. Signal-path design refers to the process of designing ...

Signal and power integrity have become pivotal concerns as data center and aerospace and defense products grow more complex and operate at higher frequencies. For Benjamin Dannan, the foundation of ...

Courses are 3 credit hours each. Students must take all 5, for a total of 15 credit hours. ECEN 5224 High Speed Digital Design (Spring) ECEN 5514 Principles of EM for HSDE (Fall) ECEN 5524 Principles ...

Several years ago, analog and mixed signal (AMS) content hit a wall. Its contribution to first-time chip failure doubled, and there is no evidence that anything has improved dramatically since then.

Tell us a little about your professional and/or educational background. I was born and brought up in India. Before coming to CU, I did my undergraduate and first master’s degree in electrical ...
