Mixed-Signal ASICs:
From design to good integrated circuits

Workshop on Affordable Design and Production of Mixed-Signal ASICs for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

 
09:30 - 10:15 Key note speech [H. Schmid]: "Electrical and Human Feedback"
 
Abstract: What happens during an R&D project largely depends on the complexity of the project. In this talk, I will explain why increasing project complexity both increases the chance of getting extraordinary results and the chance of getting into extraordinary trouble. Then I will provide an idea as to how to manage a complex project such that the project team can profit from the extraordinary results while being robust against the extraordinary trouble.
 
Biography: Dr. Hanspeter SCHMID was an analog-IC designer with Bernafon AG, Switzerland, until 2005, where he mainly worked on audio low-noise amplifiers, voltage regulators, and a wireless transceiver, and was also responsible for full-system signal integrity. Now he is a Research Fellow at IME/FHNW and a senior lecturer at ETHZ. His main research interests are fast low-power circuits(mainly for sensor electronics), signal integrity in analog signal processing, sigma-delta conversion and mixed-analog-digital signal processing. He also does consulting in industry projects. In addition to his technical work, he occasionally works as a conflict moderator or facilitator, and he gives communication courses and conflict prevention courses for engineers and for laymen. Hanspeter Schmid was IEEE CAS Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee Co-Chair from 2008-2010 and still is a committee member; he is an Associate Editor of TCAS-I, a member of the ESSCIRC technical committee, and a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE CAS Society.
