Abstract:

Next-generation wireline and wireless systems promise wider bandwidth to enable a wide range of applications, including autonomous vehicles, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things. Such high data rates mandate precise clock generation to meet the timing budget. At the same time, the need for flexibility to support multiple standards and scalability to meet higher integration density adds new dimensions to the clocking challenge. This talk will discuss recent circuit and architecture innovations to address these challenges.

Speakers’ Bios:

Dr. Hossain received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Toronto in 2010. From 2007 to 2013, he worked in product development and industrial research, focusing on high-speed link design at Intel, Gennum, Rambus, MACOM, Xilinx, and Cisco. In 2013, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Alberta. In 2023, he joined Carleton University in Ottawa. Among his many accomplishments, he was nominated as a distinguished lecturer for the Solid State Circuit Society (SSCS) for 2023-24.
