SAN FRANCISCO, April 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DesignCon, the premier conference for chip, board and systems design engineers in the high-speed communications and semiconductor communities, today announced recipients of its Best Paper Awards following a successful DesignCon 2016. Each of these winners are being awarded for their outstanding contribution to the educational goals of the DesignCon program. DesignCon's 2016 event commenced January 19-21 in Santa Clara, CA. To view the full list of winners, visit: ubm.io/PPRAwards16.
The 2016 DesignCon Best Paper Award winners have been chosen through a two-pronged judging process. First the DesignCon Technical Program Committee, comprised of leading experts in the electronic design space, reviewed all papers for originality, relevance, impact and quality. The resulting finalists were then judged based on the impact of their presentations, derived from attendee feedback collected at DesignCon 2016.
Winning papers fall into four design categories: High-Speed Signal Design, Memory & Parallel Interfaces, Test & Measurement, and Power Integrity…and the winners are:
High-Speed Signal Design
A Versatile Spectrum Shaping Scheme for Communicating Beyond Notches in Multi-Drop Interfaces
Mid-Frequency Noise Coupling Between DC-DC Converters and High-Speed Signals
Memory & Parallel Interfaces
