Summary: DATE is the top scientific event in Design, Automation, and Test of microelectronics and embedded systems for the academic and industrial research communities worldwide. It provides a unique networking opportunity, bringing together designers and design automation users, researchers and vendors, as well as specialists in hardware and software design, test and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems.
In 2019, the conference will take place for the first time in Florence, Italy. Florence is the capital of Tuscany Region, centrally located and very easy to reach via an international airport hub. Art, culture, modernity and vibrancy: Florence is much more than the cradle of Renaissance. Vaunting an unparalleled past of incredible accomplishments, Florence is a contemporary city that offers year-round entertainment. Striking architecture and monuments, museums of masterpieces, as well as fashion, theatres, gardens, modern art exhibitions, excellent places to eat and drink, and an international flair that has always set this city apart. It is time to fall in love with Florence. It is situated on the plain of the Arno River between the hills that made this region famous, surrounded by towns, villages and enchanting landscapes. Due to its history, today Florence can offer a lot of astonishing venues like the Palazzo Pitti or Palazzo Vecchio, the Town Hall of Florence, many churches like the Basilica di Santa Croce, the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella and also some open-air museums such as Giardino delle Rose and Giardino di Boboli. Florence is also a modern destination that offers many opportunities for events and activities for guests. In 2019, all over Italy but particularly Florence and the nearby hometown Vinci will be celebrating the 500th anniversary of the death of the genius Leonardo da Vinci.
The five-day event covers the design process, test, and automation tools for electronics, ranging from integrated circuits to distributed embedded systems. The conference scope includes both hardware and embedded software design issues. It also includes the elaboration of design requirements and new architectures for challenging application fields such as internet of things, multimedia, healthcare, smart energy, and automotive systems.

Project: New Asynchronous Protocols for Enhancing Area and Throughput in Bundled-Data Pipelines
Authors: Jean SIMATIC (TIMA, CDSI), Abdelkarim CHERKAOUI (TIMA, CDSI), Rodrigo POSSAMAI-BASTOS (TIMA, CDSI) and Laurent FESQUET (TIMA, CDSI)
Abstract: This paper presents two new area-reduced controllers for bundled-data asynchronous pipelines in which the stages have long critical paths. The proposed protocols allow to reduce the number of required delay elements by using the falling edge of the asynchronous request to indicate data validity. For critical path lengths of 25 gates, the first presented scheme decreases the controller area by 48% and slightly increases the maximum throughput (2%) in comparison to a standard micropipeline implementation. The other more-concurrent scheme proposition leads to a 25% area reduction and a 40% improvement of the maximum pipeline throughput.

Jobs
Design of low-power analog and mixed-signal IPs in 28 nm FDSOI technology
Host: TIMA Laboratory - RMS team - 46 avenue Félix Viallet - 38031 GRENOBLE Cedex
Start Date: January 2019
Duration: 1 year
Profile:
In collaboration with: CMP (Multi-Project Circuits), Grenoble, France
Context and description: The integration capabilities offered by current nanoscale CMOS technologies enable the fabrication of complete and very complex mixed-signal systems on a single die. The design of complex mixed-signal systems relies on the reuse of Intellectual Property blocks, the so-called IPs, as basic building blocks. In this line, this post-doc project envisages the design and validation of a library of basic analog and mixed-signal IPs in STMicroelectronics 28 nm FDSOI technology. The final goal of the project is to open this IP library to CMP customers around the world, so the developed IPs can be freely used to enable high-performance mixed-signal designs. The intended IP library will contain basic blocks such as operational amplifiers, comparators, reference generators, switches, etc.
Analog and mixed-signal design in state-of-the-art 28 nm FDSOI technology is a challenging task, but at the same time, FDSOI technologies open the door to low-power and high-performance applications that were unachievable in previous CMOS technologies. Indeed, the ability to adapt the body bias voltage may enable significant power savings if properly optimized. In the context of this post-doc project, we intend to explore optimization techniques for low-power and high performance analog and mixed-signal circuits in FDSOI technologies.
Skills: The prospective candidate should be highly motivated, have a PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics or equivalent subject, have a good publication track in related fields, should be proficient in analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design, and have experience with computer-aided design tools (e.g. Cadence). Experience on FDSOI technologies is also a plus.
