<br>The ISSCC 2019 Conference Theme is “ENVISIONING THE FUTURE”<br>The relentless progress of solid–state circuits and systems has a profound impact on our daily lives, changing the way we work,<br>communicate, and even socialize. The advancements in Silicon IC technology predicted by Moore’s Law have been fueling this<br>progress, but pursuing this trend further becomes increasingly more challenging from technology and economic perspectives.<br>Stimulated by these difficulties, the solid–state circuit community is exploring a multiplicity of paths for further development: from<br>novel technologies (innovative devices and integration techniques, such as qubits, spintronics, 3D, and photonic integration), to<br>original approaches (such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)), to new applications (such as wearable<br>electronics, IoT, virtual reality, autonomous driving, robotics, and many more). It is difficult to clearly envision the way forward<br>in this vibrant but complex emerging world: Thus, ISSCC 2019 is seeking innovations that will inspire the future of solid–state<br>circuits and systems.<br>Innovative and original papers are solicited in subject areas including (but not limited to) the following:<br>ANALOG: Amplifiers, comparators, oscillators, filters, references; nonlinear analog circuits; digitally–assisted analog circuits; MEMS/sensor interface circuits.<br>DATA CONVERTERS: Nyquist–rate and oversampling A/D and D/A converters; embedded and application–specific A/D and D/A converters; analog to information conversion; time–to–digital converters.<br>DIGITAL ARCHITECTURES & SYSTEMS: Microprocessors, micro–controllers, applications processors, graphics processors; digital systems for communications, video and multimedia, machine–learning, deep–learning, neuromorphism, cryptographics, security and trusted computing, special–function acceleration, processing–in–memory; reconfigurable systems, near– and sub–threshold systems, digital architectures and systems for emerging applications (e.g. virtual reality – AR/VR and autonomous vehicles).<br>DIGITAL CIRCUITS: Building blocks for 2D/3D SoC such as intra–chip communication circuits, clock distribution techniques, soft–error and variation–tolerant circuits.
