1) Definition and improvement of complex analog/mixed-signal functions' architectures (DC-DC converters, ADCs, Coulomb counters) to be used in Power Management ICs. Many innovations done to meet customer expectations.
Inventor of a patented novel architecture of ADCs functioning without any clocking system and very suitable for low-power, audio and sensor systems.
2) Setup of methodologies aimed at verifying complex mixed-signal ICs using current tools (Cadence AMS-Designer, spectre-ams, etc.), but designed to be fully portable. The use of these methodologies has dramatically improved the development of our ICs approaching the one-pass successfull level.
3) Full chip transistor-level sim...
