When Precision Meets Power

Conventionally, precision analog/mixed signal IC design and high power electronics are two different worlds, with distinct design considerations and mindsets. The analog/mixed ICs focus on transistor-level perfections, while the high power electronics focuses more on the system level and treats various ICs as “black boxes”. In my research group, Analog and Power ICs (APIC), we work on the next-generation “Smart Power Systems” by trying to combine the best of the two worlds! In this talk, I will cover the following aspects: what is a Smart Power System and why is it important? How do we take advantage of precision analog/mixed IC in a power system? what have we done and achieved? what is our future roadmap?

Additionally, I will briefly cover our research activities in the field of IoT, which is on the opposite end of the power spectrum! “Low power”, “self-calibration”, and “edge-AI” are the key words. If you are interested in collaboration, let’s talk!
