About the Author Sylvain CLERC (M'99) received the Engineering Degree in Digital System Architecture from Grenoble National Polytechnical Institute in 1993. From 1995 to 1999 he was with Dolphin Integration, now Dolphin Design, Meylan, France, working on memory generator design and automated layout. In 1999, he joined STMicroelectronics, Crolles, France, in Technology Design Platform group. He was responsible for standard cell design and Silicon qualification. From 2006 to 2016 he was in a team in charge of radiation hardening and silicon IPs qualification for space and terrestrial environments. He is now working in Digital Design Flow Methodology team. His current research domain is Safety and Energy Efficient circuit design. Thierry DI GILIO was born in 1978 in Marseille, France. He received his his M.Sc in Physic and Modelling Of complex Systems from University of Provence, France in 2002. In 2006, he obtained his PhD degree in nano-electronic from University of Provence. During 3 years, he worked at Sofradir (Veurey-Voroise, France) as a consultant, and designed several Readout Circuits for  cooled infrared detector applications. In 2011 he joined STMicroelectronics Central R&D (in Crolles, France) to design embedded power management circuits for digital and RF SoCs including the development of embedded boby biasing solutions for FDSOI technologies. He is now in charge of Power Management IP design within Imaging Product group. Andreia Cathelin (M’04, SM’11) is a Technology R&D Fellow at STMicroelectronics, Crolles France.  She started electrical engineering studies at the Polytechnic Institute of Bucarest, Romania and graduated with MS from the Institut Supérieur d’Electronique du Nord (ISEN), Lille, France in 1994. In 1998 and 2013 respectively, she received PhD and “habilitation à diriger des recherches” (French highest academic degree) from the Université de Lille 1, France.  Since 1998, she has been with STMicroelectronics, Crolles, France. Her focus areas are in the design of RF/mmW/THz and ultra-low-power circuits and systems. She is leading and driving advanced R&D research topics, also in collaboration with major research teams from Universities worldwide. She is as well one of the pioneers worldwide in FD-SOI CMOS design. Andreia has had numerous responsibilities inside the IEEE community since more than 10 years. At ISSCC, she has been the RF sub-committee chair from 2012 to 2015, and since 2016 is the Forums Chair and member of the Executive Committee.  She has been the ESSCIRC-ESSDERC Steering Committee Chair from 2015 to 2017 and is the Technical Program Chair for ESSCIRC2020. She has served different positions on the Technical Program Committees
