Chip-Design-Experts - Courses

The "Ultra-Low-Power Design" course teaches practical methods for developing analog, digital, and wireless systems with minimal power consumption - for example, for devices that run for years on a single button cell battery.

Participants will learn low-power design techniques such as sub-threshold operation, the gm/ID approach, and pulse operation, and apply them to applications such as sensor front-ends, signal filters, or microampere radio receivers.

The course also covers energy-efficient wireless systems as well as strategies for synchronization, sporadic transmission, and maximizing operating time. Supplemented by hands-on exercises, participants gain a deep understanding of the requirements, challenges, and solutions in ultra-low-power circuit and system design.
