1) A 4.1pJ/b 16-Gbps Coded Differential Bi-Directional Parallel Electrical Link Electrical Link - Amir Amirkhany et al., presented in ISSCC 2012
Abstract - This paper introduces Coded Differential (CD) signaling for high-speed parallel electrical links. CD preserves the desirable properties of differential signaling while offering ISI mitigation that is superior to 1-tap decision feedback equalization (DFE) at no loss in pin efficiency or throughput. Specifically, CD encodes two bits of data over four binary wires in such a way that post-cursor inter-symbol interference (ISI) is completely eliminated across the entire unit-interval (UI). CD signaling is NRZ on individual wires and is balanced across the bus, meaning over any UI half the four-wire set have a high signaling level while the other half have a low level. The balanced nature of signaling leads to low supply switching noise. Received data is detected differentially by discriminating the difference between the signals on wire pairs without the need for a fixed reference voltage.
Speaker Bio - Manish Jain is Senior Engineering Manager at Rambus India. His present area of work is Memory Interfaces and High Speed Serial Links Design. His previous work includes circuit designs for HDD analog chips, RFID & Non-volatile memories. He has received his bachelor degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering from MACT Bhopal, India in Year 1995.
2) An output structure for a bimodal 6.4Gbps GDDR5 and 2.4Gbps DDR3 compatible memory interface Navin Mishra et al., presented in CICC San Jose 2011
Abstract - A bi-modal x32 memory interface supports 6.4-Gbps GDDR5 signaling as well as 2.4-Gbps DDR3 signaling with a 1.5V IO supply. The interface incorporates a novel driver and pre-driver structure that supports one-tap equalization and presents very small capacitive loading to the pins. The entire interface, including both data and request channels achieves 11.6mW/Gbps and 27.7mW/Gbps energy efficiencies in GDDR5 and DDR3 modes respectively, and communicates successfully with 1.6-Gbps DDR3 and 6.0-Gbps GDDR5 DRAMs.
Speaker Bio - Navin Kumar Mishra is a senior member technical staff II at Rambus Chip Technologies India PVT LTD. He received M.Tech. degree in Microelectronics (VLSI Design) branch from IIT Bombay in 2005. Since joining Rambus in 2005, he has been designing mixed signal circuit blocks (mainly IO circuits) for various memory interfaces (e.g. XDR1/2, GDDR5/DDR3) and SERDES (e.g PCIe I/II, SATA I/II).

Pierre Moulin received his Engineer degree from the Ecole Polytechnique de Mons, Belgium, and his doctorate from Washington University in St. Louis (1990). After working as a Research Scientist for Bell Communications Research in Morristown, New Jersey, he joined the University of Illinois as Assistant Professor (1996) and later became Associate Professor (1999) and Professor (2003) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Research Professor in the Coordinated Science Laboratory, faculty member in the Beckman Institute's Image Formation and Processing Group, and affiliate professor in the department of Statistics. He is also a member of the Information Trust Institute and the founding director of the new Center for Information Forensics, a multidisciplinary research center currently involving twenty colleagues. His fields of professional interest are information theory, image and video processing, statistical signal processing and modeling, decision theory, !
information hiding and authentication, and the application of multiresolution signal analysis, optimization theory, and fast algorithms to these areas.
He served as Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory from 1996 till 1998, for the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing from 1999 till 2002, and then as Area Editor from 2002 till 2006. In 1999, he was co-chair of the IEEE Information Theory workshop on Detection, Estimation and Classification. He was a Guest Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory 2000 special issue on Information-Theoretic Imaging; Guest Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing's 2003 special issue on Data Hiding; and member of the IEEE Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing (IMDSP) Society Technical Committee (1998-2003) and the Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (2005-2007). He is co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of the new IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security. He is a Fellow of IEEE (2003), recipient of a 1997 Career award from the National Science Foundation, and of the IEEE Signal Processing Society 1997 Be!
st Paper award in the IMDSP area. He is also co-author (with Juan Liu) of a paper that received the IEEE Signal Processing Society 2002 Young Author Best Paper award in the IMDSP area. He was selected as Beckman Associate of UIUC's Center for Advanced Study (2003) and Sony Faculty Scholar (2005-2007). He was on the Dean's list of teachers rated excellent by their students in 1996, 1999, 2000, 2005, and 2007.
All are invited.

The Online Car: How Will Cars Change Once They're Permanently Connected To The Internet?
Written by Srikanta PatanjaliDESCRIPTION: Increasingly cars can connect to cellular networks, but the next step is broadband Internet access. What innovations in safety, efficiency, and infotainment will result, and how will it affect auto design? This webinar will discuss the different parties who must coordinate on product development--automakers, third-party infotainment providers, cellular networks, and government safety agencies. Attendees will hear what innovations are likely to arrive as product offerings, how they may be packaged to appeal to retail car buyers, and what benefits those buyers--and perhaps society at large--will reap from the new offerings.
TIME: 2:00 PM EDT / 11:00 AM PDT / 18:00 GMT (Duration: 1 hour)
