Integrated Circuits & Systems
Research in integrated circuits and systems in the ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ Department of Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering is focused on the grand challenge in today’s and future integrated systems, which simultaneously require high performance, high power efficiency, miniaturized sizeÌýand low cost.
Our work involves modeling, optimization, circuit design (using Cadence, ADS, AWR, HFSSÌýand other state-of-the-art tools), fabrication, prototyping, system integration and experimentation in a wide range of technologies (CMOS, SiGe, GaN) and applications, including:
- Integrated power converters, power management and control for data centers, microprocessors, mobile, home, electric vehicle and other applications
- Energy-efficient power amplifiers and power management for wireless communications
- Miniaturized adaptive RF passive components (filters, power dividers/combiners, phase shifters, matching networks) for next-generation wireless communication transceivers
- Low-power circuits for biomedical implants, energy harvestingÌýand "Internet of Things"Ìýdevices
