The University of Macau (UM) today (26 September) held a talk titled ‘Power Management Integrated Circuit Design for Greater Power and Greater Responsibility’ as the Seventh UM Scholar Research Forum. Lu Yan, associate professor in UM’s Institute of Microelectronics, was the keynote speaker. Combing both online and in-person elements, the talk attracted a full-house audience, including teachers and students from local secondary schools.
Integrated circuits (ICs) are the cornerstone of the world of electronic information, and power management and power converter IC are the key components of electronic systems such as electric vehicles, drones, robots, and smart devices.
During the talk, Prof Lu explained the functions of transistors and semiconductor chips with an accessible and lively presentation. He also talked about job opportunities in the current semiconductor industry both in China and abroad and shared his research results in the areas of fully-integrated voltage regulators, high energy density power converters, as well as wireless power transfer circuits and systems. He also demonstrated the invention and evolution of two-way wireless charging chips and discussed the future development trends of two-way charging and wireless charging.
