Abstract:
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become one of the most critical issues as the degree of signal integrity (SI) is getting complex. A spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) is a popular method for simple and cost-effective reduction of EMI. This presentation focuses on SSCG in analysis and design perspective. Various techniques of EMI reduction which include the SSCG will be mentioned briefly. The frequency modulation methods of the SSCG and their implementations will be also described. Low-cost SSCG design techniques that do not sacrifice the EMI reduction will be presented followed by the effect of PLL loop bandwidth and RBW on SSCG. The presentation concludes with future trends of SSCGs.

Bio:
Chulwoo Kim received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electronics engineering from the Korea University in 1994 and 1996, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001.
In 1999, he worked as a summer intern at the Design Technology at Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA. In May 2001, he joined IBM Microelectronics Division, Austin, TX, where he was involved in Cell processor design. Since September 2002, he has been with the School of Electrical Engineering, Korea University, where he is currently a Professor. He was a Visiting Professor at the University of California at Los Angeles in 2008 and at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 2012. He is a coauthor of two books, namely, CMOS Digital Integrated Circuits: Analysis and Design (McGraw Hill, 4th edition 2014) and High-Bandwidth Memory Interface (Springer, 2013). His current research interests are in the areas of wireline transceiver, memory, power management and data converters.
Dr. Kim received the Samsung HumanTech Thesis Contest Bronze Award (1996), the ISLPED Low-Power Design Contest Award (2001, 2014), the DAC Student Design Contest Award (2002), SRC Inventor Recognition Awards (2002), the Young Scientist Award from the Ministry of Science and Technology of Korea (2003), the Seoktop Award for excellence in teaching (2006, 2011) and ASP-DAC Best Design
Award (2008) and Special Feature Award (2014), Korea Semiconductor Design Contest: Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy Award (2013). He served as a Guest Editor for IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits and has been elected as Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society for 2015–2016. He is currently on the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems and on the Technical Program Committee of the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.
