VLSI group, IIT Madras

Welcome to the homepage of the VLSI group in the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras. We are located in a beautiful wooded campus in southern Chennai.

Our faculty and students are involved in research in the areas of analog, mixed signal, and RF design, analysis and simulation of noise in circuits, VLSI DSP architectures, and reconfigurable computing. Click on the tabs above to find out more about us and our research.

We regularly have openings for students in our research group. If you wish to study here, go through this page for more information and contact the faculty member working in your area of interest.

• IIT Madras invites applications from motivated candidates for research associate positions working on cutting edge research in the area of analog and mixed signal VLSI design, in the Department of Electrical Engineering. This programme is a joint initiative by IIT Madras and Texas Instruments India Pvt Limited (“TII”). For details of the program, click here.

• The paper Quadrature Generation Techniques in CMOS Relaxation Oscillators by Aniruddhan S. will be presented at the 2012 International Symposium on Circuits and Systems to be held in Seoul in May 2012.

• The papers Introducing Negative Feedback with an Integrator as the Central Element and Synthesis Based Introduction to Opamps and Phase Locked Loops by Nagendra Krishnapura will be presented at the 2012 International Symposium on Circuits and Systems to be held in Seoul in May 2012.

• The paper Device Noise in Continuous-Time Delta Sigma Modulators with Switched-Capacitor Feedback DACs by Radha S. and Shanthi Pavan will be presented at the 2012 International Symposium on Circuits and Systems to be held in Seoul in May 2012.

• The paper A 15mW 3.6GS/s CT-ΔΣ ADC with 36MHz Bandwidth and 83dB DR in 90nm CMOS by Pradeep Shettigar and Shanthi Pavan will be presented at the International Solid State Circuits Conference(ISSCC) held in San Francisco in February 2012. This is the first paper from Indian academia at ISSCC, which is the premier venue for papers on integrated circuits.This paper is also the winner of the ISSCC 2012 Silkroad Award.

• Dr. Eric Klumperink of the University of Twente, the Netherlands will deliver a series of lectures at IIT Madras on low noise RF circuits and circuit design challenges for cognitive radios. The topics covered can be seen at this link. All are welcome. Interested participants can register at this link. The lecture series will be held on 11th and 12th January 2012(starting at 9am) and is sponsored by the Special Manpower Development Project for VLSI(SMDP) under the Department of Information Technology.
