 VLSI Data Conversion Circuits by Dr. Shanthi Pavan Sir

Dr.Shanthi Pavan obtained the B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication Engg from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 1995 and the M.S and Sc.D degrees from Columbia University, New York in 1997 and 1999 respectively. From 1997 to 2000, he was with Texas Instruments in Warren, New Jersey, where he worked on high speed analog filters and data converters. From 2000 to June 2002, he worked on microwave ICs for data communication at Bigbear Networks in Sunnyvale, California. Since July 2002, he has been with the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras, where he is now a Professor of Electrical Engineering. His research interests are in the areas of high speed analog circuit design and signal processing.


Dr.Pavan is the recipient of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Darlington Best Paper Award (2009), the Swarnajayanthi Fellowship (2010, from the Government of India) , the Young Faculty Recognition Award from IIT Madras (2009, for excellence in teaching) , the Technomentor Award from the India Semiconductor Association (2010) and the Young Engineer Award from the Indian National Academy of Engineering (2006). He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems: Part I - Regular Papers, and earlier served on the editorial board of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems Part II - Express Briefs from 2006-2007.

  1. Dear Satish
    Some of the videos of IITM that your are hosting in youtube are in copyright violations. Since, these are already available online, Please do point resources to the university or prof's website.
    Of course, I appreciate your effort to host some rare videos that are not available in NPTEL.
    Regards

  2. Dear Satish,

    This is an incredible effort! I was looking for bottom-plate sampling related articles and came across the youtube video (Lecture 7) and that's where I saw the name of your website. I see a lot of useful lectures here that will be of great help in my understanding and learning of VLSI circuit design. So thank you very much for that!

    But I would like to draw your attention to the fact that some of these lectures have no voice! May be you are already aware of them. For example Lecture 8 doesn't have any voice. It will be great if you could fix these videos, if possible.

    Thanks,
    Rajdeep
