Design of analog CMOS circuits requires, obviously, a proper understanding of how MOS transistors work. Almost all design textbooks present incorrect small-signal models for MOS transistors. They emphasize Cgd, which is (for the intrinsic transistor) negligible in saturation, and completely ignore Cdg, which is the 2nd largest capacitance in saturation (where most MOS transistors in analog circuits operate). What is the difference between Cgd and Cdg? Why is the most important of these in saturation not Miller multiplied? Why are the gm and VDsat values that SPICE tells you wrong? Find out in this talk!

Most decisions have two requirements: They should be “good”, and secondly when others are involved, they should be agreed to. The normative decision model provides a decision tree with 8 critical factors that determine, not what a decision should be, but how the decision should be made. This talk use a common, relevant scenario – whether or not to require a team to terminate remote work and return to the office – to walk through the model. The talk will end with a discussion on how the model generalizes and provides alternatives for anyone faced with the challenge of making a good decision. Speaker(s): Karl Arunski, Agenda: 6:00 to 6:10 PM - Open for participants to enter and network. 6:10 to 6:15 PM - IEEE LM and CTCN Business meeting and to introduce speaker. 6:16 to 7:30 PM - Formal Program and Q&A.

5G represent a major departure from previous cellular generations. It will not only focus on speed, lower latency and spectrum efficiency but will also empower several verticals including IoT, AI/ML collecting and aggregating data for edge computing and with 6G at edge intelligence - Edge AI performing analysis and generating insightful information for critical actions in real-time or non-real-time applications. Speaker(s): Fawzi Behmann, Agenda: Talk: 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM Follow up questions: 7:30 PM to 8:00 PM Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/352011
