Research area · SDU Microelectronics
Within this area, we focus on the design and implementation of ultra-low power circuits and systems for applications with an immediate need of the industry.
Research focus
This includes but is not limited to high-precision sensors and their interfacing chips/circuits, low-power and high-performance analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters (ADC/DAC), and chip designs addressing trade-offs between accuracy, noise, power, and speed.
High-precision sensors
