DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\nLearning integrated circuit design requires gaining a
  broad range of skills and knowledge including circuit analysis and design
 \, signals & systems\, applied electro-magnetics\, and semiconductor physi
 cs. Learning theory has always been most accessible through books or now t
 he internet. Simulation tools are now also widely available on personal co
 mputers\, including open-source versions. But\, learning measurements so f
 ar has been mostly confined to school or industry laboratories. Yet\, phys
 ical intuition and practical experience keeps playing a significant role i
 n the development of successful\, high performance integrated circuits. We
  will present the MOSbius platform that allows a student or designer to ex
 periment with IC-style\, analog\, CMOS circuits at the lunch table. This u
 nique platform uses a custom chip with CMOS building blocks that can be wi
 red on a breadboard or with a programmable on-chip switch matrix. Measurem
 ents can be conducted using an affordable\, all-in-one\, USB lab instrumen
 t. Ready-to-go experiments are provided to learners and instructors on [ht
 tps://mosbius.org](https://mosbius.org/). Nothing can substitute for the a
 ha moment when you observe a circuit finally working. The debugging proces
 s to bring-up the circuit teaches the designer essential lessons that carr
 y over to high performance circuits in highly scaled technologies. The MOS
 bius platform aims to make lab experience widely accessible and affordable
  to learners.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Peter\n\nRoom: F101\, Bldg: F101 (Come thr

 ng integrated circuit design requires gaining a broad range of skills and 
 knowledge including circuit analysis and design\, signals &amp\; systems\,
  applied electro-magnetics\, and semiconductor physics. Learning theory ha
 s always been most accessible through books or now the internet. Simulatio
 n tools are now also widely available on personal computers\, including op

 fined to school or industry laboratories. Yet\, physical intuition and pra
 ctical experience keeps playing a significant role in the development of s
 uccessful\, high performance integrated circuits. We will present the MOSb
 ius platform that allows a student or designer to experiment with IC-style
 \, analog\, CMOS circuits at the lunch table. This unique platform uses a 
 custom chip with CMOS building blocks that can be wired on a breadboard or
  with a programmable on-chip switch matrix. Measurements can be conducted 
 using an affordable\, all-in-one\, USB lab instrument. Ready-to-go experim

 Nothing can substitute for the aha moment when you observe a circuit final
 ly working. The debugging process to bring-up the circuit teaches the desi
