Abstract
Reliability engineering is a very effective tool for data
center assessment, upgrading existing facilities and in evaluating new
designs. In the data center/critical facility world, much has been
written about reliability, but only a small amount of it could really be
considered “engineering.”
IEEE Std. 3006.7-2013 Recommended Practice for the
Determining the Reliability of “7 x 24” Continuous Power Systems in
Industrial and Commercial Facilities has been created to provide real
reliability engineering solutions for powering and cooling of critical
solutions.
The overview will:
1. Review the basic concepts and terminology of
reliability engineering.
2. Provide an overview of the draft standard.
3. Present typical designs and show reliability analysis for:
1. Critical electrical distribution systems
2. Critical mechanical cooling systems
3. Electrical power for the mechanical system
The origin of IEEE Std. 3006.7 – 2013 was Chapter 8, “7 x
24” Continuous Power Systems, of the IEEE Gold Book, Std. 493-2007
Recommended Practice for Design of Reliable Industrial and Commercial Power
Systems. With the reorganization of the whole IEEE Color Book series,
what was chapter 8 is now a standalone standard. It has also been greatly
expanded.

The Sun – Star of our Solar System
Pizza and Networking: 6:30 PM
Presentation: 7:00 PM
Presenter: Jerry Clifford
Meetings are free and open to the public. Please
register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2016-11-aes
Abstract
The Sun is our local star – a good place to learn about
stellar activity. Our star is the source of most of the energy we use
on Earth. The Sun is a volatile gas ball that seethes and churns; large
magnetic storms spit out charged particles in solar flares and coronal mass
ejections -- sometimes towards Earth. Violent solar weather can
damage electrical systems, disrupt communications and satellites, and
threaten astronauts. Astrophysicists study the Sun to learn how it
produces its solar weather and hopefully, learn how to predict solar storms that
might impact life on Earth. Dr. Jerry Clifford will examine the Solar
Dynamo Model for the Sun as a dynamic sphere of plasma.
About the Speaker
Jerry Clifford has spent over thirty years as a
research scientist and educator after receiving a PhD in nuclear physics at
Iowa State University. As an Air Force officer, he taught physics at
the Air Force Academy, worked on weapons programs, studied particle beams for
Reagan's Star Wars, and worked in the Office of the Secretary of
Defense. Before anti-terrorism was in vogue, Jerry worked on new
technologies to detect explosives in luggage for airport security.
Jerry now teaches physics and astronomy at California State University
Channel Islands.

THz Bandwidth InP HBT Technologies and Heterogeneous Integration with Si CMOS
Pizza and Networking: 6:30 PM
Presentation: 7:00 PM
Presenter: Miguel Urteaga
Meetings are free and open to the public. Please
register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2016-11-edcas
Abstract
Indium phosphide (InP) transistor technologies have
demonstrated bandwidths (fmax) exceeding 1 THz and are extending integrated
circuit operation into the THz frequency regime (0.3 - 3.0 THz). This talk
will describe Teledyne Scientific Company’s InP heterojunction bipolar
transistor (HBT) IC technologies and accompanying circuit demonstrations.
These demonstrations include: sophisticated THz monolithic integrated
circuits (TMICs) operating at >600GHz, 200 GHz power amplifiers
demonstrating record levels of output power (>200 mW) and high-efficiency,
and ultra-low power transceiver components at mm-wave frequencies. The
functionality of HBT technologies can be extended through integration with other
transistor technologies. We have demonstrated an InP BiFET technology that
incorporates both high-bandwidth InP HBTs and high-electron mobility
transistors (HEMTs) on a common InP substrate. The BiFET technology has
further been integrated with a commercial 130 nm Si CMOS process using 3D
wafer stacking. The integration is performed using Ziptronix Direct Bond
Interconnect (DBI®) process, a room-temperature hybrid bonding process with
embedded Cu-based interconnects (5 micron pitch). 3D stacking can be a key
enabler for space-constrained systems such as mm-wave phased arrays with
l/2-element spacing, whose performance can benefit from high-performance InP
devices.
About the Speaker
Dr. Miguel Urteaga received his M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California Santa
Barbara in 2001 and 2003, respectively. He is the manager of Teledyne
Scientific Company’s advanced device development group. His research is
focused on the development of ultra-high speed transistor technologies,
primarily in the InP material system. He has led the development of
Teledyne’s high performance InP HBT IC technologies. These technologies have
been used to demonstrate state-of-the-art integrated circuits ranging from
high speed mixed-signal and digital ICs to mm-wave and THz monolithic
integrated circuits. He is currently the program manager at Teledyne for the
DARPA THz Electronics and Diverse Accessible Heterogeneous Integration (DAHI)
programs. He has authored or co-authored over 70 conference and journal
publications.
