  System Design for Low Power ManagementEnvironmental and mobile trends have been driving system designers to develop products for minimal power without significantly compromising performance. International regulatory standards are forcing industry competitors to continue reducing input power with the goal of eventually attaining zero power (defined by the international standard IEC 62301 to be <5mW) in certain modes of operation. This course takes a practical learning approach to designing low-power systems with the ultimate goal of reaching zero power. Show less

  Comprehensive Signal and Power Integrity for High-Speed Digital SystemsHigh-speed signaling technologies with multi-gigabit data transfer rates are critical to high-bandwidth communications. However, the physical limitations of the channel (in board, package, and connector), the transceiver circuits, as well as voltage and timing noises introduced along the signal paths, make the design of high-speed links very challenging. Accurate modeling and analysis of high-speed digital systems requires a good understanding of physical effects and system architecture in order to optimize the design parameters in the channel, transmitter, and receiver subsystems. This course gives students a set of skills for problem solving and strategies that they can use to design successful high-speed systems. Show less

  Project: Magnetically levitated heart pump rotor Took over engineering test setup and found a problem with the PWM driver. System operates near zero power when rotor is balanced leading to most of the PWM values being too small for our SW/HW setup. Changed the PWM implementation and stabilized control loop for the rotor. Project: Magnetically controlled engine timing valve Used my familiarity with TI libraries to lay out the skeleton code of this second project.
