Flynn research Group
Welcome to the Flynn Research Group Website. The Flynn Research Group is a part of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan.
RESEARCH
Our main interest is in analog and mixed-signal circuits, analog-to-digital conversion, and other interface circuits. These include high-speed serial transceivers, RF transceivers and sensors. Our main focus is on circuits that transfer information between the analog and digital domains.

Peter Brown presents his Ph.D. defense on Monday, April 13th, "Sparse Approximation Accelerators with Spiking Neural-Networks."
Today's mobile intelligent devices are often limited more by the energy required for data communication than for data processing. Thus, in addition to their traditional uses in signal processing, compressed sensing techniques have now found increasing relevance in low power sensing systems. However, basis pursuit denoising (BPDN), the sparse optimization required by such techniques, typically is too computationally intensive to solve directly, so...

John Bell presents Ph.D. defense, "Generalized Noise Shaping in Delta Sigma Modulators," April 10th at 1:30 PM.
Ever increasing bandwidth demands in modern cellular networks are becoming difficult to meet, as there is no longer room to expand within the current commercial frequency allocation. As a result, an important part of current and future cellular protocols, such as LTE-A and 5G, is the ability to communicate on multiple channels at once...

Lu Jie presents again at ISSCC in San Francisco, CA., February 16-21, 2020
Lu's paper titled "A 4th-Order Cascaded-Noise-Shaping SAR ADC with 88dB SNDR
Over 100kHz Bandwidth," enlightened the attendees at his presentation.
Other authors, Boyi Zheng and Hsiang-Wen Chen were present, as was, naturally, Mike Flynn. Copy of the paper to soon be released!

PhD student Hsiang-Wen Chen has been awarded the Chia-Lun Lo Fellowship – an award that assists outstanding students in Rackham programs who have earned a previous degree from a university in Taiwan. read more... |
Memristors and CMOS integrate to multiply
By integrating a memristor crossbar array with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) control circuitry, a programmable neuromorphic computing chip can be created that is capable of efficient multiply–accumulate operations. The cover shows an optical microscopy image of the integrated chip, with the 54 × 108 crossbar array at the centre. read more... |
