Our group focuses on creating energy-efficient circuits and systems that combine and process natural signals as well as electrical signals on a single-chip platform by integrating low-power analog, digital circuits and systems.
EEMIX lab에서는 디지털, 아날로그 전기신호 뿐만 아니라 빛, 생체신호 등과 같은 자연 신호를 감지, 결합, 처리하는 단일 chip 플랫폼 기반의 energy-efficient 회로 및 시스템을 연구한다. 이러한 단일 chip에 집적되는 저전력 아날로그 회로, 혼성신호 회로 및 디지털 회로와 시스템 아키텍쳐를 연구한다.
