Overview

The Digital Integrated Circuits and Systems Group is involved with the design and implementation of various integrated systems ranging from ultra low-power wireless sensors and multimedia devices to high performance processors.

The research spans across multiple levels of abstraction ranging from innovative new process technologies and circuit styles to architectures, algorithms, and software technologies. A key focus of this group is developing energy efficient integrated solutions for battery operated systems.

The UWB Project

As an alternative to traditional narrowband data transmission, UWB offers a drastically new framework in which frequency concepts are replaced by time domain concepts and transient analysis appears naturally. This system offers high data-rates, low interference and allows an almost completelly digital implementation.

Sub-Threshold Circuits Group

The MIT Sub-Threshold Circuits Group explores energy-efficient techniques that take advantage of sub-threshold operation. The group's work span different levels of abstraction, from analyzing the optimal energy point of a given system, modeling energy characteristics of sub-threshold circuits, to developing circuit styles for logic and memory elements that operate at ultra-low voltages.
