High frequency (>5 MHz), low distortion, and ultra-low offset (<1 mV)
Operation in high-voltage environments up to ±225V, with robust stability and reliability
Architect and optimize complete end-to-end signal chains, including:
DAC/ADC interfaces, amplification, filtering, driver stages, feedback loops, and calibration
Perform modeling, simulation, and performance validation:
Develop both system-level (behavioral) and circuit-level (SPICE) models
Analyze key performance parameters such as noise, distortion, offset, drift, bandwidth, and stability
Drive laboratory debugging, validation, and system bring-up:
Utilize advanced lab equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, etc.)
