Title :
Channel-adaptive zero-margin & process-adaptive self-healing communication circuits/systems: Special session paper

Abstract :
Communication circuits/systems suffer from design margins required to support wide channel variations, increasing manufacturing process variations and multi-standard operation. Recent advances in channel and process adaptive communication systems, enabling zero-margin power-efficient operation and adaptive variation-tolerant self-healing systems enabling yield improvement are discussed.
