  • Session 18.6, “Data Recovery and Retiming for 4.8Gb/s Fully Buffered DIMM Serial Links”.
IC Design

Infineon is presenting four papers describing developments in the general area of semiconductor design.  The papers are:
  • Session 10.5, “A 10b 10GHz Digitally Controlled LC Oscillator in 65nm CMOS”.
  • Session 12.6, “A 14b 100MS/s Digitally Self-Calibrated Pipelined ADC in 0.13µm CMOS”.
  • Session 23.2, “Circuit Design Issues in Multi-Gate FET CMOS Technologies”.
  • Session 23.3, “A Low-Power True Random Number Generator Using the Random Telegraph Noise of Single Oxide Traps”.
Sensors

In the area of advanced sensors, Infineon is presenting, in Session 16.6, a paper called “An Integrated Magnetic Sensor with Two Continuous-Time Sigma-Delta-Converters and Stress Compensation.”  Additionally, the company is participating in the Special-Topic Evening Session SE7: “Sensors on the Move”, focusing on tire pressure monitoring systems.

Biomedical

A paper on the design of IC’s for biomedical applications, completes the wide range of topics addressed by Infineon researchers. The company is presenting a paper in Session 2.1, “A 24x16 CMOS-Based Chronocoulometric DNA Microarray.”

Educational Events

In addition to the keynote speech and the regular papers Infineon representatives are also engaged in the educational events.  The day-long forum on “Advanced Wireless CMOS Transceivers” is organized by Infineon. Other sessions featuring Infineon researchers include a forum on: “Circuit Design in Emerging Technologies” and a tutorial on CMOS bio-sensors.  Finally, Infineon will participate in a forum on “High Speed Interconnect.”

The committment of Infineon to this leading conference is further underlined by its seven representatives serving in the conference organizing and program committees.  Dr. Rudolf Koch, coordinating R&D efforts for the Communication Solutions business group of Infineon, will serve as European Chair of the Conference for two years, beginning in February 2006.
