Demystifying Linear Time Varying Circuits
IEEE SCV CAS proudly co-sponsors an IEEE SCV SSC distinguished lecturer seminar on Thursday October 20th, 2016 by Shanthi Pavan, IIT-Madras, with the title:
“Demystifying Linear Time Varying Circuits”
Abstract:
An analog/mixed-signal designer encounters time varying circuits everywhere – sample-and-holds, chopper stabilised amplifiers, mixers, switched-capacitor amplifiers and filters, discrete and continuous-time delta sigma modulators, N-path filters. The analysis of signals and noise in these circuits is often associated with messy mathematics and algebra.
This talk aims to demystify linear (periodically) time varying circuits. Starting from first principles, intuition behind various aspects of time-varying circuits and systems will be given. This intuition is illustrated with case studies of practical circuits and systems, like chopper-stabilised amplifiers and continuous-time delta-sigma modulators.
Bio:
Shanthi Pavan obtained the B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication Engg from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 1995 and the Masters and Doctoral degrees from Columbia University, New York in 1997 and 1999 respectively. He is now with the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras, where he is a Professor of Electrical Engineering. His research interests are in the areas of high speed analog circuit design and signal processing.
Dr. Pavan is the recipient of many awards for teaching and research, including the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Darlington Best Paper Award and the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award (from the Government of India). He has served as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems: Part I – Regular Papers. He is a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering.
