Abstract
This seminar will focus on a design issues in broadband communication ICs in the
nanometer regime. A key feature of this regime is the emergence of the power-reliability wall in
conjunction with increased complexity of next generation communication standards. Energyefficiency and reliability though intimately intertwined have historically been addressed by
disparate communities. The result being the above mentioned power-reliability wall which
threatens the well-being of the semiconductor industry. I will describe a communicationsinspired design paradigm for nanometer ICs in general, and communication ICs in particular,
that has the potential to breach the power-reliability wall. Key elements of this paradigm are
the use of equalization and error-control for on-chip computation, communication, storage as
well as for mixed-signal analog front-end design. The talk will provide a historical perspective
and demonstrate communications-inspired designs of on-chip computation and
communication sub-systems.
Biography
Naresh R. Shanbhag is with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and
the Coordinated Science Laboratory where he is presently a Professor. He has published
more than 90 publications in this area and holds three US patents. He is also a co-author of
the research monograph Pipelined Adaptive Digital Filters published by Kluwer Academic
Publishers in 1994.
Dr. Shanbhag became an IEEE Fellow in 2005, received the 2001 IEEE Transactions on
VLSI Best Paper Award, the 1999 IEEE Leon K. Kirchmayer Best Paper Award, the 1999
Xerox Faculty Award, the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 1996, and the 1994
Darlington Best Paper Award from the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. From 1997-1999,
he was a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. From 1997-99 and
from 1999- 2002, he served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transaction on Circuits and
Systems: Part II and the IEEE Transactions on VLSI, respectively. Dr. Shanbhag is a cofounder and chief technology officer of Intersymbol Communications, Inc., a fabless
semiconductor venture-funded start-up founded in 2000.
