Guest Editorial Introduction to the Special Section on the 2021 Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC)

The Special Issue of the IEEE Journal of Solid- State Circuits (JSSC) includes some of the highlights of the best papers presented at the 2021 Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC). This year, the A-SSCC 2021 is held as a hybrid conference on November 7-10, 2021 with attendees having the option to join the in-person meeting in Busan, Korea, or participate virtually through on-line platform. As one of the five conferences fully sponsored by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society, the A-SSCC was in its 17th appearance in 2021 since its inauguration in 2005 in Taiwan. Rotating among Asian countries, the A-SSCC is quickly becoming one of the leading global forums for the presentation of advances in solid-state circuits and system-on-a-chip (SoC). From 2021, only two-page format articles are allowed for submission and publication.
