Kyojin David Choo is a Research Fellow at University of Michigan, where he also had done his Ph.D in 2018. Before his Ph.D., he was with Samsung Electronics of South Korea, where he designed mobile/DSLRtarget image sensors, including award-winning sensor for Samsung NX1. He is a mixed-signal circuit and systems designer and his work focuses on building dense and energy efficient circuit solutions to enable Tiny Electronics. His research interests include sensor interfaces, energy converters, high-speed links/timing generators, and millimeter-scale integrated systems. Much of his recent researches are motivated by unique properties of charge-domain circuits and their interesting implications in various applications. |

Abstract: Electronics have been becoming smaller and smaller, continuing to reach deeper into our lives and enriching
all corners of it. IoT devices are the latest successor of this trend, projected to reach more than 10 billion
devices and to interact with us more than 4500 times per day in the next decade. One of the smallest and most
successful forms of IoT is wearables, where electronics became everyday accessories (e.g. watch, glasses). Yet,
even smaller mode of electronics – in the mm-scale – is on the horizon, that I call “Tiny Electronics”.
To enable “Tiny Electronics”, Dr. Choo has investigated various ways to build circuits that are more energyefficient,
denser, and smaller. In this talk, he will share his development of charge-domain circuits as one of the
key design techniques in improving the performance of circuit systems – in associations with examples in
energy efficient analog front-end, ADC, and other designs. He will also introduce how to allocate intelligence
strategically in Tiny Electronics to enhance the overall energy efficiency, with his example of a low-power and
mm-scale image sensor system. Current bottlenecks and future development directions of Tiny Electronics will
also be discussed in the talk.
