Paul van Gerven 13:44数十亿ICs使用出售他的设计技术获得了荷兰特文特大学Bram Nauta最高荣誉的应用研究。芯片设计Bram Nauta(1964)的方式奖,荷兰的最高认可社会影响的开创性的研究。最近庆祝他特文特大学25周年的集成电路设计(ICD)部门,Nauta享有全球声誉他IC的设计,其中一些已经在芯片中实现中使用智能手机、医疗植入物,飞机和许多其他应用程序。这些芯片销售的数十亿美元。Nauta最著名的创新可能是同名“Nauta电路,”他发达年代早期他的博士论文的一部分。Nauta设计了一个所谓的微分transconductor,用来构建一个模拟滤波器,恰好能提升所需的信号从大量的信号。应用于CMOS集成电路是数量级的速度比任何在市场上。因此,手机使用更少的能量,可以更快的运输和信号数据变得明显更强。电路已经纳入诺基亚和爱立信手机、硬盘和德州仪器产品。根据IEEE固态电路杂志上的一篇文章,TI应用Nauta的工作在每天售出100万台设备,一个事实Nauta直到十年后才学习。 Sven Mattison, one of the co-inventors of Bluetooth, has unveiled that the standard was based on the properties of the Nauta circuit. The circuit was never patented. Later, together with his ICD colleagues at the UT, Nauta devised a thermal noise canceling technique. This provided a solution for the problem caused by the variety of communication standards used in global mobile telephony. The smart electronic switch can identify and strengthen the frequencies of the different standards, such as GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 4G. It can also suppress intrinsic static using very compact circuits on a chip as receivers for many different wireless standards. This technique also opened the door to the development of ultra-low-power analog-to-digital converters. advertorial At the Bits&Chips Event 2023 on 12 October 2023, Phillipa Hopcroft from Cocotec and Ivo ter Horst from ASML will kick off with a keynote speech on transforming how lithography machine software is built. Make sure to keep an eye on the website for program updates and save the date ! Nauta’s presence turned the Twente region into fertile grounds for IC design companies and departments, including Ansem, Bruco and ItoM, which was recently acquired by Bosch. Axiom IC, now part of Teledyne Dalsa, is a spinoff of the UT’s ICD department and in turn, this company brought forth Axign. Nauta is a figurehead of the Chiptech Twente consortium, which aims to bolster the area’s semiconductor and photonics activities, both in terms of design and manufacturing. The Hengelo-born expert’s academic accolades include the presidency of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (2018-2020) and the program chair of the ISSCC, the world’s foremost IC design conference. Award Ceremony Stevin laureates, along with Spinoza Prize candidates for outstanding academic research, are nominated first by a select number of individuals. Two committees, one for each prize and consisting of international experts from academia and in the case of the Stevin Prize also from industry, then advice science financier NWO who to honor in any given year. The laureates each receive 1.5 million euros for further academic research and activities related to knowledge utilization. This year, the committees put forth four winners. The other Steven Prize winner is Corien Prins, professor of Law and Information Technology at Tilburg University. Joyeeta Gupta, professor of Environment and Development in the Global South at the University of Amsterdam, and Toby Kiers, professor of Mutualistic Interactions at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, have been awarded the Spinoza Prize. The Spinoza and Stevin Prizes will be presented at an award ceremony on Wednesday 4 October 2023. Main image credit: University of Twente Related
