SSCS UK and Ireland Christmas Lecture 2024 : Chris Mangelsdorf
Title: Perverse Trends in Analog Technology
Abstract:
The semiconductor industry -with unprecedented decades of cooperation across economic, social and national borders- has changed the course of human history and set mankind on a bold new path. Analog circuit designers have done everything they could to prevent this.
Through accident, coincidence or peevish recalcitrance, the analog community has managed to contradict everything we take for granted about the lumbering, pre-ordained march of Moore's Law. Sure, analog people bask in the shared glory of brisk paced, bleeding-edge advancement led by others, but the truth is we'd still be using bipolar transistors and 30V supplies if it were up to us.
Come, explore the bizarre world of analog, and the strange beings which inhabit it. Marvel in its contradictions, its twisted logic and its unlikely folk heroes. Enjoy the tour, but don't ask why. Diagnosing the cause all this perversion is best left to clinical professionals.

Chris Mangelsdorf (S'77 - M'84) received a B.S. in physics, magna cum laude, from Davidson College, Davidson, NC in 1977. In 1980 and 1984, he received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering at M.I.T. where he held the first Analog Devices Fellowship. He has been associated with Analog Devices since summer employment in 1980 and has been a Fellow of Analog Devices since 1998. From 1996 to 2013, Dr. Mangelsdorf worked in Tokyo, running the Analog Devices Tokyo Design Center and then adding responsibility for the Shanghai and Beijing Design Centers with the title of Asia Technical Director. In 2013, he moved to the Analog Devices San Diego office, where he was engaged in the development of high speed A/D converters. In September 2020, Chris retired from Analog Devices and is now consulting and writing the "Shop Talk" series for IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine. Dr. Mangelsdorf is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Pi Sigma (physics) and has served on both the ISSCC Program Committee and the AdComm for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society. He holds 18 patents and has won the ISSCC Best Evening Session Award 10 times. |
