October 24-27, 2021
Sponsored by PSMA and IEEE PELS

he 2021 Power Supply on Chip (PwrSoC) Workshop is scheduled to be held in-person from October 24, through October 27, at the Singh Center for Nanotechnology on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia PA.

Throughout its history, each workshop has spotlighted advanced technologies needed to build granular and modular power supplies and provided compelling demonstrations of commercialized products that make a clear case that PwrSoC and PSiP technologies are becoming more prominent and mainstream.

The technical program chairs for the 2021 International Power Supply-on-Chip (PwrSoC) Workshop are Hanh-Phuc Le of University of California at San Diego and Matt Wilkowski of EnaChip. Hanh-Phuc and Matt have both been presenters, session chairs and program chairs for past Power Supply on Chip workshops. A team of world-renowned experts, innovators and pioneers of the Power Supply on Chip technology has been assembled to chair the workshop's nine sessions.

• Plenary Session - Jose Cobos, University Polytechnic Madrid
• Systems and Applications - Francesco Carobolante, IoTissimo
• Topologies and Control - Bruno Allard, Université de Lyon
• Wideband Gap Integration - Brian Ma, University Texas Dallas
• Integrated Capacitors & Energy Storage - Medhi Jatlaoui, Murata
• Integrated Magnetics - Masahiro Yamaguchi, Tohoku University Japan
• System Integration Manufacturing and Packaging - Baoxing Chen, Analog Devices
• Granular Power - Santosh Kulkarni, Dialog Semiconductor
• Posters - Minjie Chen, Princeton University

The technical program committee is in the process of identifying a pool of respected international experts from academic, research and industry for the areas covered by each of the technical sessions. The session chairs are looking to build on the glimpses of technology developments, product developments and emerging market applications that were provided during the PwrSoC corridor webinar event this past November with the goal of publishing an agenda for the topics and presenters by early summer 2021. If interested in providing a presentation, please contact one of the session chairs or technical program co-chairs.

As with past workshops, all lecture presentations are by invitation from the respective session chairs. A call for posters is planned for early summer 2021. Registration for the 2021 Power Supply on Chip workshop is expected to open during the summer of 2021.

The 2021 November PwrSoC corridor event did provide a first look at the progressions since the last in-person workshop in Taiwan with presenters and attendees from all global regions. This virtual event was highly attended with many first-time attendees representing the growing international interest in PSiP and PwrSoC technologies and PwrSoC's technology posturing to grow and become more mainstream in the next few years.

The planning of the technical program, supporting activities as well as identifying workshop partners to contribute to its success are in process. If interested in being a workshop partner, please contact the workshop financial chair, Trifon Liakopoulos, at trifon@enachip.com

Continuing the tradition of the enthusiasm, market relevance and success of past workshops, we are looking forward to the in-person International Power Supply-on-Chip (PwrSoC) Workshop 2021 in Philadelphia, PA during the week of October 24 thru 27 2021 bringing to light the technology and market application developments since the most recent in-person PwrSoC workshop in Taiwan during October 2018.
