In 2005, he moved to Components Research and was responsible for research to enable future process options for Intel’s technology development organizations. In 2015, he moved to Intel Labs and became responsible for Intel’s product-driven research. In 2018, he moved to the Technology Development group at Intel. Mayberry received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry and mathematics from Midland College and his PhD in physical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley.

Abstract: The digital transformation continues to gain momentum, as businesses offer consumers increasingly distributed services, and industry pursues improvements across the extent of the electronics ecosystem. This transformation is characterized by continued strong demand for compute at all points in the network – at the core, the edge, and at the endpoints. Data continues to grow at an exponential rate and not only drives the compute requirements, but also requires efficient solutions for movement and storage of data that is critical for overall performance. From device to cloud, new applications and use cases are continuously emerging. This transformation demands that we adapt our thinking and move from a hardware/program centric to a data/information centric approach, and to embrace new ways to compute. To keep pace in this dynamic environment, Moore’s Law and its impact have become more relevant than ever.

Jen Lloyd

Vice President for the Precision Technology and Platforms Group, ADI

Jennifer Lloyd received S.B., S.M., and Ph.D. degrees in EECS from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She started her career as an analog designer at Analog Devices in the High-Speed Converter group, and has contributed to various ADC, DAC and SerDes products for which she holds 9 US patents and several papers and publications. She served on the technical program committee for both the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference and the IEEE Symposium on VLSI Circuits.  Jen led ADI’s core technology business in amplifiers and precision converters, along with the Instrumentation Market Group.   For several years she was Vice President, Healthcare and Consumer Systems, where she led global engineering and business teams to build innovative solutions for those markets, which were discussed in a presentation at ISSCC in 2019.  Dr. Lloyd is now Vice President for the Precision Technology and Platforms Group, in which she drives technology and market leadership across ADI’s precision franchises and related solutions in high-speed and precision amplifiers, precision converters, references, switches and isolation.  Jen is passionate about supporting women in our field through forums including IEEE Women in Circuits.

Abstract: Sustainable development is one of the preeminent challenges facing humanity. The immediate and near-term identified challenge is carbon emissions, driven primarily from the energy sector. The integrated circuit industry has created an information and communications revolution which has transformed every sector of the economy from education to agriculture. Can the innovation and power of the industry transform sustainability? In this talk, we will show that by enabling electrification of the power sector (efficiency) and virtualization of physical processes (reducing energy demand), the integrated circuit industry will be a key enabler for solutions to sustainability issues.

Abstract: The flash industry has continuously produced game-changing innovations in density, latency, and form factors resulting in large cost-performance benefits. To address the wide spectrum of storage demands coming from phone/IoT devices, mobile compute, up to data centers, new flash architectures are essential to handle these next generation applications. Future technology must include not only new architectures and more layers in flash chip designs, but also a roadmap for QLC flash and beyond, new memories, new classes of SSDs, and new software technologies. They must all come together to enable and accelerate the next wave of applications including the real-time analytics, AI (Artificial Intelligence)/ML (Machine Learning), high-performance computing, IoT, and virtual and augmented reality.
