Mixed-Signal Design and Simulation for speeding up the development of ASICs and ASSP for the automotive industry.

Using digital design approach for mixed-signal automotive and industrial ASIC design.

ASIC and FPGA designs. The design of analogue, digital or mixed-signal ASICs in several processes depending on the requirements of the researchers. Further the design and implementation of digital parts in Xilinx's FPGA platforms for the test of ASIC and new digital processing architectures.

Definition and implementation of firmware and software architecture for a new CCD acquisition system.

Collaboration in the architecture and firmware design of a new acquisition system for CCD sensors were the main objectives. The networking and the future work definition were the "key" factor of the stage.

– Development of SIMO (single inductor multiple outputs) Fully integrated converter in 65nm process. – High power converter with magnetic LTCC (low-temperature co-fired ceramics) coupled inductor filter. – Hands-on lab measurement and practical validation.

Development of ASIC for Isolated Power Inverter in ON05 process.
