This website contains publications, lectures, tutorials, and
CAD software developed by Michael H. Perrott and his
former students. Of particular focus is the CppSim system
simulator, which was developed for efficient architectural
investigation of communication circuits and systems.
Michael H. Perrott received the B.S. degree in Electrical
Engineering from New Mexico State University, Las
Cruces, NM in 1988, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1992 and 1997,
respectively. His PhD thesis was on "Techniques for High
Data Rate Modulation and Low Power Operation of
Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizers" PDF.
From 1997 to 1998, he worked at Hewlett-Packard
Laboratories in Palo Alto, CA, on high speed circuit
techniques for Sigma-Delta synthesizers. In 1999, he was
a visiting Assistant Professor at the Hong Kong University
of Science and Technology, and taught a course on the
theory and implementation of frequency synthesizers. From
1999 to 2001, he worked at Silicon Laboratories in Austin,
TX, and developed circuit and signal processing
techniques to achieve high performance clock and data
recovery circuits. He was an Assistant and then Associate
Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 2001 to
2008. He is currently with SiTime Corporation, a Silicon
Valley startup developing clock generation and timing
solutions which incorporate Micro Electro Mechanical
Systems (MEMS) resonator devices inside standard
silicon electronic chips.
