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
Center Overview • Project Topics Proposed by Industry Sponsors • Analog Devices, Allegro Microsystems, Skyworks Solutions • Meet with sponsor representatives at start, finish of MQP
Autonomous Bioinstrumentation Card • Dan Moyer, Tuan Vu • Noninvasive measurement of biosignal (pulse rate) • Autonomously powered (60µA 5V solar cell)
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
Trimmable Bandgap Voltage Reference in CMOS • Foreman, Solitro, Wolfertz • Implemented link fuses for bandgap voltage adjustment • Bipolar devices in CMOS for bandgap reference function
Recruiting Process • http://ece.wpi.edu/analog link to: • Sign up for interview time • Indicate project preference • November 2013 • Interview • January 2014 • Result of interview process • Decision timetable same as off-campus MQPs
