A research team from the Next-Generation Integrated Circuits and Systems Design Lab (NICS Design Lab), led by Professor Chae Joo-hyung (Department of Electronic Communication Engineering) at Kwangwoon University, consisting of students Yoon Joo-hyung, Yoo Yong-kyu, and Lee Jong-min, won the Bronze Award at the 2024 Korean University Semiconductor Circuit Design Contest.

With the growing demand and increasing importance of on-device AI, the significance of LPDDR (Low-Power Double Data Rate) memory, used in laptops, smartphones, and tablets, has also risen substantially. To enhance the performance of such devices, it is crucial to improve the transmission speed and energy efficiency of LPDDR memory interfaces. The research team presented their findings on improving the performance of next-generation LPDDR memory interface transceivers.

The 2024 Korean University Semiconductor Circuit Design Contest, organized by the Institute of Semiconductor Engineers, aims to cultivate full custom integrated circuit design skills among university students nationwide and to discover innovative ideas and semiconductor design technologies. This year, a total of 15 teams advanced to the finals and received awards among the many participating teams.
