Abstract :
The Student Design Contest made its debut at ISSCC this year, with seven teams of students presenting poster sessions. Over the last two decades this contest has evolved into a premier international design contest for all students. Any design done by students as part of their studies is eligible. Entries cover a broad range of design styles including systems, FPGA, analog, digital, and MEMS chips. The contest has two categories. The operational category is for designs that have been fabricated and tested. The conceptual category is for designs that have been simulated extensively and include test plans, but have not yet been fabricated.
