Analog Mixed-Signal IC Design

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. This includes but 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 designing chips addressing trade-offs between accuracy, noise, power, and speed. The application ranges from small IoT sensor nodes, structural health monitoring (temperature, humidity, cracks, corrosion, etc.), to automotive, robotics, and drone technologies.
