At ESSERC ESSERC 2025, Adrian Gehl presented his latest research findings—a multi-mode multi-ratio SC-DC-DC converter in 28nm CMOS for the next generation of automotive microcontrollers. A particular highlight is a mixed-signal auto-tuning circuit that ensures energy-efficient resonant operation at load currents of up to 1 A. The IMS congratulates Adrian Gehl on this outstanding success. We would also like to thank Infineon Technologies for the wonderful collaboration!
On the sidelines of ESSERC, Professor Wicht had a reunion with three generations of his doctoral students – a wonderful example of the enduring bond between former and current IMS researchers, which has kept the institute connected over many years and stages in the industry.
