Instructor: Frank O’Mahony

Frank O’Mahony leads the I/O Circuit Technology group within Advanced Design at Intel in Hillsboro, Oregon. He

develops the first wireline I/O circuits for each new CMOS process technology. From 2003 until 2011 he was a

member of the Signaling Research group in Intel’s Circuit Research Lab. His research interests at Intel include

high-speed and low-power data links, clock generation and distribution, and on-die measurement techniques.

Frank received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University,

Stanford, CA, in 1997, 2000, and 2004, respectively. He received the 2003 Jack Kilby Award for Outstanding

Student Paper at ISSCC for his work on standing-wave oscillators. Frank is a member of the ISSCC Wireline

Subcommittee and an Associate Editor for TCAS-I.
