High Performance Low Power Circuits Mixed-Mode ASIC Design Analog circuit design low power digital circuit ROIC ASIC Interface Circuit sensors ADC semiconductor IC Design

My research focuses on designing efficient interfaces between the analog and digital domains through the development of low-power, high-performance CMOS interface circuits. The interface circuit encompasses key components such as amplifiers, filters, comparators, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), each of which must be carefully optimized to meet the specific requirements of the target application. By addressing the challenges in analog-digital interfacing, this work aims to contribute to the advancement of integrated circuits and systems that can seamlessly connect real-world analog signals to their digital counterparts, with potential applications in sensor interfaces, data acquisition systems, and mixed-signal electronics. The research involves circuit design, simulation, integration, and experimental evaluation to create novel interface circuit topologies and techniques that improve power efficiency, speed, and overall performance.
