To further help students understand analog integrated circuit design, deepen their understanding of their major, and enhance their awareness of the laboratory, Teacher Wang provided a detailed introduction to the research directions and content of the PMIC laboratory. The laboratory focuses on high-performance power management and analog chip design, dedicated to researching core technical challenges in areas such as high-voltage/high-speed DC-DC converters, wireless charging chips, automotive electronic chips, and analog front-end chips. The lecture sparked students’ curiosity and interest in chip design, leading to enthusiastic participation and active questioning.
The team has published multiple achievements at top international conferences such as ISSCC and JSSC. The laboratory is supported by major projects from the National Natural Science Foundation and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and collaborates with leading companies like Huawei to promote deep integration of industry, academia, and research. Students were impressed by the laboratory’s outstanding research results.
Subsequently, students closely visited the working environment of the PMICers, learning about the daily work content and atmosphere from senior students. Through communication with teachers and seniors, they deeply felt the charm of the integrated circuit discipline and gained a clearer understanding and choice regarding their future academic development.
The PMIC laboratory emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and the cultivation of engineering practical abilities, providing students with the best research platform and academic resources, equipped with advanced chip design tools and testing equipment, supporting the entire R&D process from simulation, tape-out to packaging testing. Regular expert lectures and technical discussions are held. Through joint projects with enterprises, the laboratory helps students bridge academic research and industry needs. Additionally, the laboratory regularly organizes team-building and recreational activities, maintaining a united, rigorous, lively, and harmonious atmosphere. The PMIC laboratory looks forward to welcoming students who are passionate about the integrated circuit industry to join and co-write the future chapter of “China’s Chip”!
