Analog circuit, different from digital circuits, does not scale well to lower technology nodes. This means that the expected area and cost decrease, is not always present in lower technology nodes. One way to take maximal advantage of the scaling is to implement analog functionality in digital blocks, while taking maximal advantage of the strengths of this digital implementation to increase performance. Project goals Design, simulation and implementation of a novel implementation of a temperature sensor/bandgap for a new generation of Low Voltage and low current consumption products. Literature study of possible “Analog in Digital” related techniques, like for example “Dynamic Element Matching”. Start from architectural study, through Concept/Analog Design and Mixed-Signal Simulation, to end up at an actual Design & Layout Implementation, coached by an experienced Analog Designer. 34 2014-2015 Requirements Bachelor in Electronic Engineering Knowledge of Analog Electronics Good knowledge of English Preferred Duration 6-10 weeks Preferred Duration Ieper or Tessenderlo 35 2014-2015 Project: Design of a low power Supply System Development Project Description All electronics require a voltage to operate and consume current when doing so. The stability of this supply voltage has a significant impact on the accuracy and the robustness of the electronic circuits being supplied by it. For battery powered applications, the power consumption of the electronics is critical as it determines the battery operated life time. To improve life time, there is a strong drive to lower regulated voltages and lower current consumption. The goal of this project would be to investigate and implement a low power supply system, consisting of different blocks. Depending on the time, the scope can be limited to a signal regulator or be as wide as bandgap, regulator and power on reset (POR) implementation. Project goals Design, simulation and implementation of a supply system for a new generation of Low Voltage and low current consumption products. Start from architectural study, through Concept/Analog Design and Mixed-Signal Simulation, to end up at an actual Design & Layout Implementation, coached by an experienced Analog Designer. Requirements Bachelor in Electronic Engineering Knowledge of Analog Electronics Good knowledge of English 36 2014-2015 Preferred Duration 6-10 weeks Site Location Ieper or Tessenderlo Additional student information Student Contribution to the project: Architectural study (papers, reverse engineering, system study,…) Real hands-on design (and layout) implementation Full Mixed-Signal simulation and validation Competencies the student could develop: Hands-on analog design experience Experience with the full design process, from concept to final TO 37 2014-2015 Project: Design of a low power Rail-to-rail buffer Development Project Description Although sensors require a considerable amplification of the sensing element signal, the testability of some internal nodes is crucial for characterization purposes and final test. For this testability, it is important to bring out these internal nodes on one or more test pins of the package. The internal nodes are typically higher impedant and hence have low driving capabilities, so they need to be buffered before bringing them outside. The difficulty lies in the fact that the internal nodes can have any voltage, so the buffer should be a rail-to-rail operational, class AB type amplifier. With unity gain, stability is critical. Another important design constraint is the offset and offset drift: for accurate measurements, it is important to minimize these effects. Systematic offsets should be minimized through proper layout, but the random offset is governed by the matching and, through Lakshmikumar’s findings, the size – amongst others – of the input transistors. Proper scaling will have to be done to cover this aspect as well. Project goals Design, simulation and implementation of a rail-to-rail testbuffer for a new generation of Low Voltage and low current consumption products. Start from architectural study, through Concept/Analog Design and Mixed-Signal Simulation, to end up at an actual Design & Layout Implementation, coached by an experienced Analog Designer 38 2014-2015 Requirements Bachelor in Electronic Engineering Knowledge of Analog Electronics Good knowledge of English Preferred Duration 6-10 weeks Site Location Ieper or Tessenderlo Additional student information Student Contribution to the project: Architectural study (papers, reverse engineering, system study,…) Real hands-on design (and layout) implementation Full Mixed-Signal simulation and validation Competencies the student could develop: Hands-on analog design experience Experience with the full design process, from concept to final TO 39 2014-2015 Project: Design of a low power RC oscillator Development Project Description The heartbeat of every chip comes from the oscillator. Good stability of this heartbeat is mandatory for proper functionality, which is linked to process variations and temperature. The latter introduces a spec on the relative frequency drift, but the absolute frequency is of utmost importance as well. The design should support trimming functionality to cope with this requirement. The trimming of the oscillator is done in final test, and the frequency drift is verified over temperature for 100% of the parts. In order to guarantee a good yield, 6-sigma design is required. Project goals Design, simulation and implementation of an RC oscillator for a new generation of Low Voltage and low current consumption products. Start from architectural study, through Concept/Analog Design and Mixed-Signal Simulation, to end up at an actual Design & Layout Implementation, coached by an experienced Analog Designer.

We address each other by first name, come to work in casual clothing and have an open office workspace. Our CEO, is just sitting among the other employees which shows our open company spirit. Within this flatly structured organization, we encourage sharing our experiences with others. This informal, open culture creates a collegial work environment with room for a laugh and friendship. Our company supports social happenings for employees. Not only do our employees acknowledge the good working ambient, they find they can align their jobs with their interests. Some of our engineers even see their job as playing with electronics while being paid for it. Melexis gives people the opportunity to find their way to the job they really like to do. We acknowledge that our employee’s life is about much more than working alone, even if they like their work and working environment. We try to keep a healthy work-life balance. To safeguard this balance Melexis also strives to be as flexible an employer as possible. At Melexis we offer more than a job alone. We offer you a challenging working environment with advancement opportunity. 67 2014-2015 A quote from a Melexis employee "I just turned 26 two weeks ago and I am Lead Designer on a new chip.
