Welcome to Yonsei Mixed-Signal IC Laboratory

In our lab, we do research on various analog integrated circuits in CMOS technology. This includes data converters, amplifiers, and precision analog circuits, especially for communication, sensing, and biomedical applications. 

We build up hardware in the form of Integrated Circuits and also develop fundamental design techniques to realize portable and energy-efficient systems. Our ongoing research includes Brain-Computer Interfaces, Photon-Counting/DNN-Assisted Imagers, Bio-sensor Platforms, and Data Converters.
