To develop understanding of why power management circuits are needed in a VLSI system. What are different components of a power management system with focus on dc-dc converters. How to design a chip level dc-dc converter from a given system level specifications.
By the end of this course, students should be able to understand the concept behind power management circuits and be able to design a dc-dc converter for a specific system using behavioral and circuit level simulators such as MATALB/Simulink and Cadence. Students should be able select various parameters such as switching frequency, inductor and capacitor values for best performance and efficiency.
