Neurons in the brain interact with each other through electrical and chemical signals. These interactions determine how the brain detects and processes information. Simultaneous detection of the activity of many neurons is crucial for understanding the brain function. I will describe electrical and optical methods of interacting with neural networks developed with SCIPP’s participation. I...
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is in the midst of a major upgrade called LCLS-II [1]. This upgrade will add a 4 GeV continuous-wave superconducting electron accelerator to the LCLS complex, delivering a 10,000-fold increase in repetition rate and average x-ray brightness. Currently scheduled to achieve first light in 2020, LCLS-II will enable a broad range of experiments over a 0.2 to...
Image sensor innovation continues after more than 50 years of development. New image sensor markets are being developed while old markets continue to grow. Higher performance and lower cost image sensors are enabling these new applications. Although CMOS image sensors dominate the market, CCDs and other novel image sensors continue to be developed. In this talk we discuss trends in image...
Radiation-induced degradation and soft errors in electronics are important reliability issues for various space, defense and commercial applications. The continual miniaturization of CMOS technologies and the introduction of multi-gate device structures to mitigate short channel effects have had mixed consequences for radiation tolerance. The aim of this presentation is to review the current...
R&D studies of readout electronics systems for accelerator based neutrino experiments have been carried out since 2008. The CMOS based cryogenic readout electronics is the enabling technology for giant (> 10kT) LAr TPC (Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber) in neutrino experiments, which also has potential to be used in other noble liquid TPC based experiments (dark matter search, neutrino-...
Modern data acquisition techniques employed in particle physics create large amounts of digital data that must be transmitted to remote electronics and computers for further processing. Increasingly, bandwidth requirements preclude the use of PCB traces and traditional copper cabling, even for modest interconnection length. Fortunately, novel copper and optical flyover solutions are being...
In the past two decades, there has been numerous attempts to take advantage of semiconductor solutions, broadly defined, to create high-performance biosensors and bio-molecular detection devices. The goal has always been to create molecular diagnostics technologies that offer the cost efficiency, miniaturization capabilities, and manufacturing robustness of consumer electronics devices. The...
High-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are becoming essential
building blocks in many applications including optical communications, high-speed test
equipment such as real-time oscilloscopes, and high-energy particle physics, etc. While several ADC architectures have been proposed, SAR (Successive Approximation Register) has become the de facto preferred design, because of its...
