Research


      The High Speed Electronics Laboratory is currrently working on the projects as highlighted below.

Advanced Interconnects and I/O
  • Realized world's 1st CDMA-interconnect based on code-division multiple access for simultaneous multiple-I/O (2x2) inter-chip communication at a data rate of 2.7Gbps
  • Realized world's 1st FDMA-interconnect for simultaneous multiple-I/O and bidierectional inter-ULSI bus and link with a RF/baseband combined data rate of 3.6Gbps
  • Developed world's 1st capacitor-coupled pulsed signaling bus interface (CCBI) for Gbps ultra low power board-level communication
  • Demonstrated self-synchronized RF-interconnect for 3-Dimensional ICs
CMOS MMICs
  • Realized world's 1st K-band receiver front-end at 24GHz in 0.18 m CMOS
  • Realized low phase noise CMOS VCOs (F.O.M. of -187dBc/Hz) at 60 and 70GHz, respectively, with small on-chip tuning folk (X36 reduction in size) on high dielectric constant photonic crystal
  • Realized 60GHz differential CMOS LNA with 20dB gain, 5dB NF, 2GHz 3dB bandwidth and 5mW power consumption
High Speed ADCs/DACs
  • Realized a 2Gs/s 3-bit Sigma Delta-modulated DAC in InP HBTs with 72dB SNR
  • Realized a 2Gs/s 6-bit Nyquist ADC in 0.18 m CMOS with 1GHz instantaneous bandwidth and SNDR/SFDR of 30 and 35.5dB, respectively
  • Realized a 600Ms/s 8-bit Nyquist ADC in 0.18 m CMOS with minimum SNDR of 40dB at 600Msample/s for input signals up to 200MHz
