Solid-State Circuits / Circuit and System Joint Chapter IEEE Central Texas Section Spring Planning Meeting January 16, 2016 San Marcos, TX
Chapter Leadership Team Chair: Seth Wilk (RF Micropower, swilk@ieee.org) Vice Chair: Nan Sun (UT Austin, nansun@mail.utexas.edu) Treasurer: Mikel Ash (TI, mikel.ash@ti.com) Advisor Matt Felder (matt_felder@yahoo.com) Zhuo Li (IBM, zhuoli@ieee.org) IEEE Central Texas Section
Chapter Updates Meeting location: UT Campus ACES (POB) 2.402 We are looking for additional locations and would appreciate any suggestions. Kenny Rice mentioned that he might be able to help. We were able to hold several meetings jointly at different locations last year and would like to do so in 2016 3 Technical seminars so far for 2016 Dallas Section will do TexasWISE this year IEEE Central Texas Section

2016 Scheduled Meetings Event Category Meeting Date Meeting Title Speaker vTools IEEE CTS CAS/SSC Seminar: Demystifying Linear Time Varying Systems 2/5/2016 Technical Shanthi Pavan Yes IEEE CTS CAS/SSC Seminar: Design Techniques for High Performance Continuous-time Delta Sigma Modulators 2/5/2016 Technical Shanthi Pavan Yes IEEE CTS CAS/SSC Seminar: Energy efficient circuit technologies for the sub-14nm era: challenges and opportunities 4/21/2016 Technical Ram Krishnamurthy Yes We plan to schedule the ISSCC reviews again this year Both Nagaraja and Nan will attend IEEE Central Texas Section
SWOT Analysis Strengths Good technical talks, DL program (1 so far this year) Stable attendance rate. So far one workshop per year in last three years and one more planned for this year. Good leadership pipeline. Stable funding resource from CAS and SSC Society. Extra subsidy funding from CAS and SSC for workshop or extra events to promote memberships. Weaknesses Find more good technical talks and workshop topics. Increase attendance rate. Keep website updated IEEE Central Texas Section
SWOT Analysis Opportunities Local chip design and EDA companies University of Texas, Austin Threats Seminars inside companies and Universities A less interesting workshop may get cancelled or need more funding. IEEE Central Texas Section
Chapter Plans / Issues Continue ISSCC annual review. Cosponsor event/seminars with other chapters Invite Distinguished Lecture Program speakers. IEEE Central Texas Section
QUESTIONS??? Thanks IEEE Central Texas Section
