Integrated Systems Seminar Series

Speaker: Dr. Fred Lee, Fairchild Semiconductor

Talk Title: Mixed-signal IC design for MEMS-based systems

Series: Integrated Systems Seminar Series

Abstract: In the last decade, a boom in commercial MEMS-based sensors and products have found widespread adoption in our world. We will discuss mixed-signal IC architectures in four mainstream areas of MEMS-based systems: timing references, temperature sensors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes. Finally, we will conclude with forward-looking thoughts on how "the cloud" and humanity's desire for "passively aware intelligence" will grow the demand for many other sensor systems in the next decade and beyond.

Biography: Fred S. Lee received the B.S./M. Eng. and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA in 2002 and 2007, focusing on analog/RF circuits and low energy ultra-wideband radios. From 2007 to 2008, he was with Rambus Inc. in Los Altos, CA, working on multi-GHz wireline and 60GHz wireless transceivers. From 2008 to 2011, he was with SiTime, in Sunnyvale, CA, developing MEMS-based fractional-N PLLs, MEMS-based temperature sensors, and RF/mixed-signal circuits. Currently, he is with Fairchild Semiconductor, developing MEMS and sensor solutions. He was a co-recipient of the ISLPED Low Power Design Contest Award in 2002, DAC/ISSCC Student Design Contest Award in 2004 and the ISSCC Jack Kilby Best Student Paper Award in 2007.
