Professor Byeongseob Kim’s research team at POSTECH’s Department of Electrical Engineering, consisting of Integrated Program student Changjae Moon, Ph.D. graduates Minsoo Choi (currently at Marvell Technology), and Myeongguk Lee (currently at Samsung Electronics), has received international recognition for their work by having an invited review paper published in the Open Journal of the Solid-State Circuits Society (OJ-SSCS), a newly established journal in the field of semiconductor integrated circuits.

OJ-SSCS, an open-access journal founded by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) in 2020, focuses on transistor-level designs in the solid-state circuit field. This invitation is significant because the journal carefully selects leading researchers from various fields to enhance its academic standing.

The paper titled “Review on Resistive Termination Techniques Driven by Wireline Channel Behaviors” comprehensively analyzes resistive termination techniques essential for the design of high-speed data transmission systems and systematically organizes the design methodologies. In particular, the research team’s development of the ‘relaxed impedance matching’ technique, which loosens the strict impedance matching conditions while maintaining signal quality, has been highly valued for providing designers with greater flexibility and practical utility.
