New Book by CASS Member “Switched Inductor Power IC"

Prof. Gabriel Alfonso Rincón-Mora, CASS Fellow, has recently published a new book on switched inductor power IC. This book uses design insight, real-life examples, illustrative figures, easy-to-follow equations, and simple SPICE code to show how semiconductor devices (diodes, bipolar-junction transistors (BJTs), and metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) field-effect transistors (FETs) ) work independently and collectively in switched-inductor power supplies; how these power supplies transfer power, consume power, and react and respond across frequency; how feedback loops switch, control, and stabilize them; and how the building blocks that comprise them are implemented and designed. This book is focused and complete, with a holistic approach and perspective on power IC design that extends from semiconductor devices to fully-closed feedback systems. Readers will develop the insight needed to interpret, assess, and design switched inductor power ICs, which almost all electronic systems need, yet no other book addresses this way.

  • Comprehensive Power IC Design textbook: from semiconductor devices to fully-looped feedback systems
  • Provides insight, using plain language, focus on basic concepts, & application to realistic examples
  • Includes SPICE code that readers can use to explore concepts

Call for Special Issue Proposals IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (TCSVT)

The call for Special Issues proposals for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (TCSVT) is now open. The special issues should focus on hot and emerging topics in all areas relevant to TCSVT. 

The deadline for submission of special issue proposals to Associate EiC is 15 September 2022. The decision will be communicated to all applicants by 22 September 2022. Each proposal should include: 

  • A draft of the call for papers that includes a list of topics the special issue will include 
  • Rationale for the proposed topic 
  • Timeline (manuscript submission deadline, first and second revision deadlines, and final manuscript due date) 
  • Biographies of all guest editorial team members including their qualifications 
  • Potential sources of submissions and an estimate of the number of expected submissions 

It is advised that the team of Guest Editors does not exceed five members. It is encouraged that the guest editorial team includes one current Associate Editor of TCSVT. A balance between academic and industrial editors, gender balance, and geographical representations should be considered when forming the guest editorial team. 

Please send the proposal to:

Vladimir Stankovic (Email: Vladimir.stankovic@strath.ac.uk), Associate EiC, IEEE TCSVT
