Design of Integrated Switched Capacitor Power Converters Seminar by Dr. Gerard Villar


Next 11 and 12 June we will have the visit of Dr. Gerard Villar, Principal Scientist at NXP Semiconductors, Eindhoven. He accepted to teach a seminar on Design of Integrated Switched Capacitor Power Converters, on which topic he is a renowned expert. You can find attached to this message the bio of Dr. Villar and an outline of the seminar. The seminar will be held In two sessions of two hours each. For interested doctoral students, there will be a certificate of attendance so they can add this activity to their doctoral activity report.

Please take note of the relevant data:

Dates: 11 and 12 June 2019
Time: 10:00 to 12:00
Where: Aula de Postgrau, C5-116, Campus Nord

 

Summary:

In the recent years, switched-capacitor power converters (SCPC) have gained attention in the field of microelectronics due to their capability to provide efficient voltage conversion without the requirement of an inductor for energy transfer, but by only using capacitors (which are much easier to integrate in standard planar technologies). Both conversions up/down are possible with SCPCs.

This module is meant to introduce the attendants to the analysis and design of switched-capacitor power converters (SCPC). While the first part will focus on the generic design and analysis of any SCPC topology (fully integrated or discrete based), the second part will cover details of their microelectronic implementation as well as basic concepts of their output voltage control.

 

Speakers Biography:

Gerard Villar Piqué received the M.Sc. degree in 2001, and the Ph.D. degree in 2007 from the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona. In April 2008, he joined the Research Department of NXP Semiconductors, Eindhoven (The Netherlands). As Senior Principal Scientist of a Power Management team, he is involved in innovation of integrated power management systems. His main area of interest is power management systems (including switched-mode power supplies), with special focus in low-power fully-integrated switched-capacitor DC-DC converters. He has published a book on monolithic integration of inductive switching power converters, 2 book chapters and multiple papers. He is or has been a member of the Technical Program Committee of ESSCIRC, ISSCC and PowerSoC.
