一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>
<br>This is an advanced course for IC designers to understand the power management 
<br>applications. Please do not take this course if you have no background on IC design flow
<br>and IC design tool. We will use HSPICE as simulation tool in class. 
<br>
<br>The course has two main parts. 
<br>First contains different modules with like linear regulator, switching-type converter, 
<br>and switched-capacitor converter. 
<br>Second highlights some research topics for modern power management IC applications. 
<br>
<br>Power Conversion Techniques
<br> Linear regulator.
<br> Switched-inductor converter.
<br> Switched-capacitor converter.
<br>
<br>Power Conversion/Management for modern ICs
<br> Case study
<br>
