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 simulations of million+ elements circuits for current consumption, startup verification and floating nodes detection, etc. Invented a novel and very simple method of detecting floating nodes at any levels.
4) Developement of various models for system design & verification purposes (verilogams models of codec, dc-dc converters, ldo's, pll, etc.; spice models) or from customer request (IBIS models). Creation and improvement of many generic analog/mixed-signal models to be used during the design phase of complex blocks.
5) Setup for the first time in the department of Top-down / bottom-up design methodologies and training of design engineers.
6) Design of DC-DC converters (bucks and boost)
7) Design of ultra-low quiescent current ldos (linear regulators)
