The presentation will be given by Remco van Beek.
Remco van de Beek received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Twente in 1999. In 2004, he received the Ph.D. degree on the subject of “High-speed low-jitter frequency multiplication in CMOS” from the University of Twente. In 2004, he joined Philips Research Laboratories Eindhoven. In 2006, he moved to NXP Semiconductors, Research, and is currently in the Low Power Radio Solutions group which is part of the automotive business unit. In the past, Remco has worked on fast-hopping frequency synthesis for ultra-wideband and on front-ends for increased data rates in contactless smart cards and NFC.
After a short introduction on NXP and its activities in the Netherlands, we will illustrate how Moore’s law is driving IC design innovation. Several examples are shown that demonstrate how design techniques are used to translate the semiconductor technology advancement into new applications, increased functionality and/or better performance.
