For a paper presented at the 2021 International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the world’s top conference in chip design, members of the Electronic Instrumentation (EI) lab became co-recipients of the Takuo Sugano award for best Far-East paper. During a pre-Covid visit to the TU Delft, Ph.D. candidate Woojun Choi (Yonsei University, Korea) and his counterpart Jan Angevare (TU Delft) came up with the architecture of an integrated frequency reference with high accuracy and low energy consumption, making it well suited for battery-less IoT applications (link to the paper). The resulting chip is just one example of the long and fruitful cooperation between the groups of Youngcheol Chae (Yonsei) and Kofi Makinwa (TU Delft).
