AC and Stability Analysis in NGSPICE

The above example shows an AC analysis test-bench GSCHEM. In this example the loop is broken by R3 whose value at dc is 1mO and is changed to 1TO for ac analysis. Doing this enables NGSPICE to converge on a sensible dc operating point for open loop analysis without any imperfections such as input offset forcing the output to one of the supply rails.

Wearable Sensing and Computing

 Wearable Sensing and Computing 

 05.11.2014 - 06.11.2014

 EPFL Lausanne (CH)

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The course main objective is to inform and discuss in great details the latest advancements in low power sensing technology, energy harvesting and their heterogeneous integration for wearable smart system applications. Technological roadmaps of performance and future evolutions will be presented. The low power wireless communications are discussed from the point of view of existing standards and challenges for reducing the energy per communicated bit. Another objective is to detail some key future applications for wearable sensing and computing with main emphasis on: (1) medical Diagnostics, monitoring and prevention and (2) sports, fitness and activity monitoring applications. We analyze the benefits of autonomous smart system technology from many different points of view, including that of the individual, the physician, health care management, and society in general. We provide a rationale on the role of such technology as a component of the care cycle and the changes it can induce by reinforcing preventive strategies.

AGENDA on-line
Day 1 (09:00 – 17:00):

• Introduction to wearable technology and energy efficient functions for autonomous smart systems
• Energy efficient computing technologies and their importance for wearable applications:

Open Ph D scholarship on semiconductor device modeling

We offer one scholarship for a Ph D student position in the Department of Electronic Engineering in theUniversitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), in Tarragona, Spain.

The duration of the grant will be for three years. The monthly salary will be about 1000 Euro/month. The position will start in January 2014.

The candidate should have a Bachelor and Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or Physics. A good background in Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor Devices, or Integrated Circuit Design will be highly appreciated.

The work to be done by the candidate will be focused on the development of new techniques of characterization and modeling of novel advanced semiconductor devices, in particular  III-V devices. It will be related to European and national projects in which the hosting group (the so-called NEPHOS group) participates. One recent European Union project coordinated by our NEPHOS group is COMON (COmpact MOdelling Network)

The NEPHOS group at URV is one of the most powerful teams in Europe in the area of compact modeling of semiconductor devices.
