Opportunities for Analog / Mixed Signal / RF MQPs:
The NECAMSID Center for Analog and Mixed Signal Design at WPI
John McNeill
http://ece.wpi.edu/analog
NECAMSID MQPs: ece.wpi.edu/analog 2
Center Overview
• Project Topics Proposed by Industry Sponsors– Analog Devices, Allegro Microsystems,
Skyworks Solutions
• Meet with sponsor representatives at start, finish of MQP
NECAMSID MQPs: ece.wpi.edu/analog 3
Autonomous Bioinstrumentation Card
• Dan Moyer, Tuan Vu• Noninvasive measurement of biosignal (pulse rate)• Autonomously powered (60µA 5V solar cell)
NECAMSID MQPs: ece.wpi.edu/analog 4
LEDs as Feedback Sensors for Displays
• Cianfrocco , Lee, Renzulli
• Application: Use inactiveLEDs as sensors forfeedback calibration
• Closed loop PWM control of display intensity; compensate for aging effects
NECAMSID MQPs: ece.wpi.edu/analog 5
Trimmable Bandgap Voltage Reference in CMOS
• Foreman, Solitro, Wolfertz
• Bipolar devices in CMOS for bandgap reference function
• Implemented link fuses for bandgap voltage adjustment
