*Abstract*
In conventional digital signal processors, the only use of timing is
through the ubiquitous clock, which synchronizes all sampling and
computational activity. Clocks are difficult to synchronize over a large
microelectronic chip, dissipate large power, introduce latency, and most
importantly carry no information. In this talk, we will review techniques
for utilizing timing to advantage, in ways that require no clocking. The
resulting systems use binary signals that carry information in both the
amplitude and time dimensions, and dissipate energy only when signal
activity demands it. The talk will be tutorial in nature.

*About Professor Yannis Tsividis*

Yannis P. Tsividis is the Edwin Howard Armstrong Professor of Electrical
Engineering at Columbia University. He received the B.S. degree from the
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from
the University of California, Berkeley. He has worked on analog and
mixed-signal integrated circuits at the device, circuit, system, signal
processing, and computer simulation level. He has received the IEEE W.R.G.
Baker Award for the best IEEE publication, and is recipient or co-recipient
of best paper awards from the European Solid-State Circuits Conference, the
IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference, and the IEEE Circuits
and Systems Society (Darlington Award and Guillemin-Cauer Award). He has
received Columbia’s Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching, the IEEE
Undergraduate Teaching Award, and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Education
Award. He was elected Professor Honoris Causa at the University of Patras,
Greece, and received the Outstanding Achievement Award of the University of
Minnesota. He is a Life Fellow of IEEE, and has received the IEEE Gustav
Robert Kirchhoff Award. He is a member of the US National Academy of
Engineering.
