Analog and Mixed Signal Design Group
The Analog and Mixed Signal Design Group is specialized in designing mixed signal integrated circuits and systems. The group divides into following research fields:
Analog IC Design
The focus of Analog IC Design projects is on designing analog circuits, simulations and layout. The applications cover a wide range: from high-speed transceivers to power management circuits, PLL design and bio-medical front-ends to name a few.
Biomedical System on Chips
Most projects are based around our bio-medical SoC called VivoSoC. It consists of specialised analogue front-ends (e.g. for ExG or neural signal acquisition, PPG based measurements, neural stimulation etc.) as well as powerful, PULP-based processor cores. Applications are in the field of optogenetics stimulation, ExG recordings (wearable and implantable), in-vivo and in-vitro experiments, neuroprosthetics etc.
Wireless Communication Systems for the IoT
We design digital signal processing accelerators for highly integrated RF SoCs in the field of wireless communication. Our current platform with a multi-core processor system and a great RF transceiver allows us to research upcoming wireless transmission standards. One of our current focus areas is 5G cellular communication for the Internet of Things, where we offer many interesting projects for students.
