The second edition of the ?Congreso Argentino de Electrónica? CAE, is taking place in BuenosAires, hosted by Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires, co-located with the fifteenth edition ofthe school of Micro-Nanoelectronics, Technology and Applications (EAMTA). CAE arises as thecontinuation and expansion of the Conference on Micro-Nanoelectronics, Technology andApplications (CAMTA), and aims at providing a national quality forum for a wide range oftopics in the field of electronics.Thirteen (13) regular papers and seven (7) invited papers were accepted to be presented at theconference and afterwards be published in IEEE Xplore. Paper topics include circuit testing, RFcircuits and receivers, digital integrated circuits (IC), convolutional networks and neuralcomputation IC, low power and analog IC, compressed sensing techniques, CCD IC,memristors, power electronics, radiation effects on circuits, and speech recognition techniques.CAE is also hosting a Student and PhD forum where six (6) posters will be presented during theconference, encouraging young researchers to present their work. We want to specially thank allreviewers for their hard work in providing useful feedback to improve the papers, as they are thekey to maintain the technical quality of the proceedings.The Technical Program is also very diverse and rich. During the event, several lectures will bedelivered by experts from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, South Africa and Belgium. Industryday will count with known Semiconductor, Design and EDA companies from around the world,plus representatives of investment funds and important national electronic companies. This year,a work session with EDA and local companies will be held with the objective of setting up newinitiatives to leverage local industry using new technologies.One of the targets of the event is to help establish a technological platform in the country, and indoing this, we continue emphasizing the central role of students. Therefore, continuing with thetradition started in the first EAMTA, a number of 40 grants (20 full lodging grants and 20 fulltravel grants) were provided to students from different provinces of Argentina, Chile andUruguay. We want to thank all sponsors for making this possible. Fifty one (51) participantshave registered for the event so far.This year, four course tracks will be offered during EAMTA. The basic track (9 attendees) willcover basic topics on analog circuits, digital circuits, tools, device physics and designlaboratories with EDA tools. An additional analog course will provide hands-on design ofCMOS amplifiers (13 attendees). The basic digital track (11 attendees) will cover digitaltechniques and entry-level knowledge of digital design flow and industrial tools & techniquesfor digital synthesis on FPGA. Finally, there will be a track that focuses on IC design for medicalapplications (7 attendees).
