Implementation of a Latch-based PullUp-Emulator Circuit
During your studies, you can contribute to our ongoing research projects. Join us in pushing the limits of what is technically feasible and be part of breaking new ground together. We offer a variety of challenging and practice-oriented topics for mandatory internships, Bachelor’s or Master’s theses or for student research assistants. You will analyse important scientific preliminary questions and support the project teams with development activities.
Place of work: Erfurt
Team: Microelectronics
Career level: Mandatory Internship, Thesis
Research field: Integrated sensor systems
Time scope: By agreement
Start: As soon as possible
Application deadline: 2024-12-31
Reference number: IMMS_STUD_ME_0424
In bus systems like I2C or SMBus, the communication of several devices is realized by open-collector circuits and pull-up resistors. This causes a current consumption during data transmission.
At IMMS, a PullUp-Emulator has been envisioned that reduces this current consumption by using a latch-based structure. In this project, this circuit is to be implemented in a commercially available CMOS technology.
WHAT TO DO:
- Specification of the PullUp-Emulator
- Estimation of Energy consumption
- Implementation & Simulation
- Documentation
WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU:
- Basics of integrated Circuit Design
- Verilog
AND THIS IS US:
We strengthen enterprises with application-oriented research and development in microelectronics, systems engineering and mechatronics and transfer the results of basic research into applications and products. We support companies in launching internationally successful innovations for health, the environment and industry and provide solutions from the feasibility study to series production.
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU!
We thank you for your interest in working with us.
WHAT CAN WE OFFER YOU:
- An attractive workplace in a modern, very well-equipped and industry-oriented research institute
- Work directly at the interface between university and industry
- Work in a flexible and creative team and on innovative and challenging topics
For the tasks described in the job offer and with the existing working conditions, an application is possible irrespective of gender and/or any physical disabilities. We foster professional equality of women and men. We invite women in particular to apply. As women are underrepresented at IMMS, they will be given priority in the case of equal suitability, ability and professional performance.
