Analog and power integrated circuit design (APIC)
Contact: Qinwen Fan
Integrated circuits have become a crucial part of modern society. Under this theme, we focus on high-performance analog and power integrated circuits for sensor interfaces, industrial measurement and instrumentation applications, energy conversion in EVs, renewable energy systems, and IoT nodes.
Three main tracks are defined under this theme:
1. High-performance voltage/current sensing
2. High-efficiency half-bridge/full-bridge inverters for audio applications, motor drivers, and renewable energy conversion systems with smart control and drivers
3. Low-power IoT nodes
Projects under this theme
