Open Positions: Advanced Reconfigurable Miniaturized Power I/Os Last updated: April 25, , 2:56 p.m. Description
Our industrial partner designs avionic equipment for a variety of aircraft. These safety critical systems, currently implemented using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, interface to flight surfaces, landing gears, cockpit controls, etc., generating and reading analog and digital signals. Future aviation markets require flight control computers with dramatically reduced space, weight and power (SWAP).
Although a custom integrated circuit (IC) drastically improves SWAP, no single transistor technology is optimal for the range of components, which includes power transistors, high-speed digital, as well as analog circuits. Using an advanced system-in-package (SiP) technology we will integrate enhanced flight control computer functionality into a significantly reduced volume.
This four-year project brings together five faculty members from École de technologie ...
