System and Circuit Technology

Modern nano- and microelectronic technologies allow the combination of complex digital circuits, analogue circuits, and novel devices on a single chip. We conduct research for a new generation of extremely energy efficient intelligent systems in which microchips communicate with high speed and perceive their environment by sensors with an ever-higher precision.

The “System and Circuit Technology” workgroup conducts research in the area of integrated nano-/microelectronic circuits for communication and sensors and is headed by Prof. J. Christoph Scheytt und Dr. Wolfgang Müller. The main research topics are:

Integrated analog, high-frequency and photonic circuits

• Integrated circuits for high data rate wireline communication
• High and ultra-uigh frequency wireless chips for communication and sensor technology
• Integrated electronic-photonic circuits and systems in silicon photonic technology
• Design of integrated multi-functional systems

Integrated digital and mixed-signal circuits

• Virtual prototypes and embedded systems
• Description and simulation of digital and mixed-signal systems
• FPGA and standard cell based circuit design
• RISC-V based special processors
