DESCRIPTION:Gabor C. Temes\, Oregon State University\, Corvallis\, OR\, US
 A\nThe performance of analog integrated circuits is limited by the noise g
 enerated in its components. Some of this noise (thermal and shot noises) h
 ave a white spectrum\, while others (dc offset\, 1/f noise) are restricted
  to a narrow frequency range near dc. Several circuit techniques (correlat
 ed double sampling\, chopping) exist for mitigating the effects of the low
 -frequency noise components. In this lecture\, a different design approach
  is described for suppressing low-frequency noise. Unlike earlier techniqu
 es\, the proposed process also reduces even-order distortion\, which is an
 other major limitation of analog circuits. It therefore may allow the use 
 of single-ended circuits in some applications where usually differential s
 tructures are needed. For a specified performance\, this may allow a signi
 ficant reduction\, as much as 40 - 50 %\, in complexity and power dissipat
 ion compared to the equivalent differential implementation.\n\nBio:\nThe f
 or more than three decades\, the research of  Dr. Gabor C. Temes into an
 alog signal processing has had a profound and broad impact on the quality 
 of sound and data communications.\n\nHis research in analog and digital si
 gnal processing and mixed-signal integrated electronics has been prolific\
 , progressing from classical network theory to active filter synthesis to 
 monolithic filter and data converter design. Without his work on analog-to
 -digital converters\, DSL or cable-modem Internet connections would be muc
 h slower than they now are\, and the data density of hard disk drives woul
 d also be lower than that in today’s systems.\n\nAs professor of enginee
 ring at Oregon State University in Corvallis\, Dr. Temes has been a leadin
 g authority on delta sigma data converters. His research on filter design\
 , optimization methods and low-sensitivity filter structures helped signif
 icantly the explosive growth of analog signal processing in MOS integrated
  circuit technologies during the last 30 years. His work in switched capac
 itor filters helped define communications chips in the 1980s by conceiving
  fundamental design methods for them.\n\nAs an educator\, Dr. Temes has be
 en responsible for several seminal texts on analog signal processing and h
 as co-authored several widely used reference books\, including "Introducti
 on to Circuit Synthesis and Design\," "Modern Filter Theory and Design\," 
 "Oversampling Delta Converters" and "Delta-Sigma Data Converters." He has 
 published over 600 papers and conference proceedings\, including a paper o
 n switched capacitor circuit design considered to be the most complete sum
 mary of switched-capacitor filter design methods. He holds 14 patents on n
 ovel circuits and devices and also has organized hundreds of global short 
 courses on signal processing topics.\n\nAn IEEE Life Fellow\, Gabor Temes 
 received the CAS Darlington Award\, and the CAS Education as well as Techn
 ical Achievement Awards. He won the 1998 IEEE Graduate Teaching Award\, th
 e 2006 IEEE Gustav Robert Kirchhoff Award\, and the 2009 CAS Mac Van Valke
 nburg Award. He is the 2017 recipient of the Semiconductor Industry Associ
 ation University Researcher Award. He is a member of the U.S. National Aca
 demy of Engineering. He served as Editor of IEEE TCAS-I.\n\nDr. Temes hold
 s degrees from the Technical University of Budapest in engineering and Eot
 vos Lorand University in Budapest in physics\, as well as a doctoral degre
 e in electrical engineering from the University of Ottawa in Canada.
