Tutorial-I

Different Topologies of Wireless Transceiver for Medical Implants Systems

Dr. Sherif Saleh Mohamed

Room: Pavillon 1

Recently, low-power wireless technologies and miniature sensors have been effectively developed.

The emerging of wireless sensor networks with a reliable data transfer and higher bandwidth requires

small, highly integrated, inexpensive transceivers with very low power consumption. This will satisfy

the need for higher bandwidth and reliable data transfer. Super-regenerative (SR) transceivers have

recently been proposed for low power operation and its high level of integrity, but suffer from low

data rates and the use of offchip resonators. The principle of super-regenerative transceiver, is to

achieve a high gain at low bias currents, which based on discrete sampling of the incoming RF input

signal with a quenched RF detector oscillator at a defined certain periods. This tutorial introduces a

lowpower super-regenerative transceiver based on the quenching concept, that employs on-off keying

(OOK) modulation, achieving excellent selectivity while consuming less than 0.16 mW without the

need for expensive off-chip components. By achieving the system wholstically, a data transmission is

achieved while meeting the requirement of the 300 kHz channel bandwidth of the MICS application.

Operation of the new system is explained at the system level and the entire circuit design is also

given. The transceiver is employed to preserve the low power quality of the classic transceiver and

provides an excellent trade-off between simplicity and high performance, while obtaining the reduced

area and reliability of OOK modulation.

Tutorial-II

Developments and Practices for Testing MRAM Memories

Dr. Patrick GIRARD

Room: Pavillon 1

Memories occupy most of the silicon area in nowadays System-on-Chips. Though widely used, non-

volatile Flash memories still have several drawbacks. Magnetic Random Access Memories (MRAM)

have the potential to mitigate almost all Flash related issues. However, they are prone to defects as

any other kind of memories. This embedded tutorial provides an up-to-date and practical coverage of

MRAM testing. The first part gives some background on Magnetic Tunnel Junction and existing

MRAM technologies. Then, an MRAM architecture used to illustrate the development of test and

reliability solutions is presented. The next part detailed resistive-open, resistive-bridge and capacitive

defect injection campaigns that are usually performed in order to analyze specific failure mechanisms

of MRAMs. Specific functional fault models associated to these failure mechanisms are then

described. The last part of the tutorial presents March test algorithms developed for MRAM testing

and their validation in industrial environments.


Tutorial-III

Deep Learning for self-driving cars

Dr. Ibrahim Sobh

Room: Pavillon 1

Recent advances in deep artificial neural networks (DNNs) have enabled noticeable and rapid success in

developing computer vision, natural language and speech processing intelligent systems. Recently, in the

automotive industry, researchers and developers are actively pushing deep learning based approaches to

enable autonomous driving. The first part of this tutorial introduces a generic framework for self-driving

cars in addition to use-cases and demos, followed by an introduction to the fundamentals of machine

learning and deep learning along with resources and development tools. Then, different computer vision

and environment perception tasks are presented including state of the art object detection, semantic

segmentation and instance segmentation. Additionally, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and

related applications will be presented. Methods to fool (attack) deep models along with possible defenses

approaches are presented. Finally, the tutorial will be concluded by presenting demos and having

discussions.

Keynote Speaker-2

Wide-Range Highly-Efficient Wireless Power Receivers for Biomedical Sensors

Prof. Khaled Nabil Salama

Room: Pavillon 1

Chair: Ahmed Madian (Nile University, Egypt)

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is the key enabler for myriads of applications, starting from low-

power RFIDs, wireless sensors, and Internet-of-things (IoT), grow- ing to wirelessly-charged electric

vehicles, and even up to massive power transmission from space solar cells. One of the major

challenges, to design tiny implantable biomed ical devices, are the size and lifetime of the battery.

We propose a miniaturized fully-integrated wirelessly powered implantable sensor, with on-chip

antennas, designed and implemented in standard 0.18 μm CMOS process. As a battery-less device, it

can be implanted once inside the body, with no need for further invasive surgeries to replace

batteries. The proposed single-chip solution is designed and optimized for Intraocular pressure

monitoring (IOPM), and can serve as a sustainable, sensing platform for any implantable device or

IoT nodes. We propose a self-biased, cross-coupled, differential rectifier with enhanced power-

conversion efficiency over an extended range of input power. A prototype is designed for UHF

433MHz RF power-harvesting applications and is implemented using AMS 0.18μm CMOS

technology. It demonstrates an efficiency improvement of more than 40% in the rectifier power

conversion efficiency (PCE) and an input power range extension of more than 50% relative to the

conventional cross-coupled rectifier. We further propose a wide-range, differential RF-to-DC power

converter using an adaptive, self-biasing technique. The proposed architecture extends the optimal

input range at which the rectifier maintains 90% of its peak power conversion efficiency over wider

than conventional rectifiers. Unlike the continuously self-biased rectifier proposed in the second

part, this adaptive self-biased rectifier extends the dynamic range while maintaining both the high

PCE peak and the sensitivity advantage of the conventional cross-coupled scheme.

Plasmonics: Fundamentals, Applications & Modelling Challenges

Prof. Salah Obayya

Room: Pavillon 1

Chair: Hassan Mostafa (University of Toronto, Canada)

Plasmonics takes advantage of the coupling of light to charges like electrons in metals, and allows

breaking the diffraction limit for the localization of light into subwavelength dimensions enabling

strong field enhancements. Plasmonics plays nowadays a fundamental role in the realization of

many useful photonic devices for many applications such as solar energy, sensing, ICT, etc., but

existing modeling techniques of plasmonics seriously lack accuracy and often yield wrong results.

We suggested powerful remedies keeping the computational effort minimum and almost

independent of the size of the structure. In this talk, overview of the novel computational

plasmonics created by the presenter and his team with be presented.

Hardware security has become an important system and application metric. It is considered as a key

requirement for smart cards, smart phones, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, hardware wallets, and

so on. With the increase in the number and form of such systems, the devices that store critical

information become more approachable to malicious attackers. These devices are potentially

susceptible to physical attacks that aim at breaking cryptosystems by gaining information from their

implementation instead of using theoretical weaknesses. Physical security threats appear at circuit-

level, where an attacker can measure or physically influence the computation/operation performed

by the circuit. Side channel attacks exploit additional sources of information (physical observations),

including timing information, power consumption, electromagnetic emissions (EM), and sound.

Malicious data modifications lead to fault attacks which can be performed by injecting faults using

laser/optical, electromagnetic, and glitches (power and clock). These attacks pose a very serious

threat to modern chips with cryptographic algorithms. Accordingly, the concept of hardware security

has been formally reshaped after the emergence of such attacks. This talk will start with an overview



















of hardware security, including side channel and fault attacks. Then, some real physical attacks from

industry on embedded systems and IoT will be presented. The talk will conclude with the use of

countermeasures against these attacks.
