Kwantae has been awarded the Academy Research Fellowship (ranked 1st in the review panel) by the Research Council of Finland (RCF)! The project is funded with €1M in total over the next 4 years.

HolistIC: Analog-Digital-Algorithm Co-Optimized System-on-Chip for Intelligent Audio IoT Sensors

Our group aims to develop a next-generation audio chip that unifies sensor interface, data processing, and inference through holistic co-design. This project will be carried out in collaboration with the following research groups:

  • Sangyeob Kim, Yonsei University, South Korea πŸ‡°πŸ‡·
  • Komail Badami, CSEM Zurich, Switzerland πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­
  • Martin Andraud, UCLouvain, Belgium πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ

We sincerely thank the Research Council of Finland for the funding decision and the reviewers for their valuable feedback!

Stay tuned for updates from our group!

We open-source cdl_gen, a Python-to-schematic generator for Cadence Virtuoso.

Claude successfully generates a 4-bit cap DAC with 2% mismatch with cdl_gen.
We hope cdl_gen can be helpful for analog/mixed-signal designers!
