Abstract:
Jitter and Phase Noise characterize the timing precision of clock and data signals in a variety of applications such as data converters, wireline, and wireless systems. This talk provides basic definitions of various types of jitter and phase noise, how they manifest themselves in different applications, and how they all relate to each other. The aim of this talk is to provide an intuitive understanding of jitter and phase noise and to serve as a foundation for the next three talks in this tutorial.

Bio:
Ali Sheikholeslami received the B.Sc. degree from Shiraz University, Iran, in 1990 and the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Toronto, Canada, in 1994 and 1999, respectively, all in electrical engineering. In 1999, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto where he is currently Professor. He was on research sabbatical with Fujitsu Labs in 2005-2006, and with Analog Devices in 2012-2013. His research interests are in analog and digital integrated circuits, high-speed signaling, VLSI memory design, and CMOS annealing. He has coauthored over 70 journal and conference papers, 10 patents, and a graduate-level textbook entitled “Understanding Jitter and Phase Noise – A Circuits and Systems Perspective”, Cambridge University Press. He was a co-author of the CICC2017 Outstanding Student Paper Award. Dr. Sheikholeslami served on the Memory, Technology Directions, and Wireline Subcommittees of the ISSCC in 2001-2004, 2002-2005, and 2007-2013, respectively. He currently serves as the Education Chair for both ISSCC and the Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS). He is a Distinguished Lecturer (DL) of the Society and oversees its DL and webinar programs. He is an Associate Editor for the Solid-State Circuits Magazine, in which he has a regular column entitled “Circuit Intuitions”. He was an Associate Editor for the IEEE TCAS-I for 2010-2012, and the program chair for the 2004 IEEE ISMVL. Dr. Sheikholeslami has received numerous teaching awards including the 2005-2006 Early Career Teaching Award and the 2010 Faculty Teaching Award, both from the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. He is a registered professional engineer in Ontario, Canada.
