The South East Asia Circuits and Systems (SEACAS) 2023 was held in the Philippines on September 18-19, 2023. The event was hosted at the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute of the University of the Philippines in Diliman through the IEEE Circuits and Systems and Signal Processing Society Joint Chapter of the Philippines Section and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Philippines Chapter. The event was attended by representatives from IEEE CASS Executive and six (6) Chapters from Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines). In total, there were 17 CASS officers and student mentors, and 17 student participants who participated in the first SEACAS Student Chipathon. For Day 1, while the students were busy working on the chip design competition (Chipathon), the chapter officers and representatives were also busy presenting and discussing their experience and best practices on managing/organizing a CAS chapter, as well as their research and other activities.
The second workshop day started with a laboratory tour of the University of the Philippines. Among the facilities visited were the Microelectronics and Microprocessors Laboratory (Microlab), the University Laboratory for Small Satellites and Space Engineering Systems (ULyS3ES) and their Full Anechoic Chamber, and the UP Diliman Microfabrication Laboratory (UP DMF).
The workshop culminated with a fellowship banquet dinner and prizes awarded to the Chipathon winners.
