Digital and Memory Circuit Research at Waterloo

 

     Who:      Prof. Manoj Sachdev

                   University of Waterloo, Canada

   When:     03/21/2016, Monday, 09:40 am

  Where:     SEIEE Building 2-410

                   Shanghai Jiao Tong University

 

Abstract:

Integrated circuits are ubiquitous, and ever increasing low-power/energy requirements necessitate low-voltage operation of various circuit building blocks. However, as power supply voltage for circuits and embedded memories is reduced, it results into several design and reliability challenges. In this talk, we will discuss some of these challenges, and highlight recent research done at Waterloo.
