Description:

The Microelectronic Systems Laboratory (LSM) at EPFL operates as a part of the Institute of Electrical Engineering (IEL), concentrating its activities on the design and implementation of high-performance digital and mixed-signal VLSI circuits, language-based modeling and validation of SoC components, neuromorphic / bio-inspired system architectures, and integration of novel technologies for complex system design. The teaching objective of LSM is to offer comprehensive undergraduate and graduate education programs in digital / mixed-signal IC design and VLSI system design to our Electrical Engineering and Microengineering (Microtechnique) students. The facilities of the Microelectronic Systems Laboratory include a state-of-the-art EDA environment for VLSI design, as well as test and measurement labs for detailed chip-level and system-level characterization.[20 February 2019] Our recent paper entitled "A 161mW 56Gb/s ADC-Based Discrete Multitone Wireline Receiver Data-Path in 14nm FinFET" by G.
