Scope

Master Thesis 30 hp

Background

Modern ASICs integrate multiple functional IP blocks that transition between idle and full-power states within nanoseconds, demanding nearly instantaneous current from the power delivery network. To ensure a voltage regulator satisfies these stringent dynamic requirements, its transient performance must be comprehensively evaluated across various operating scenarios. Applying rapid current steps via a dedicated step-response test board allows engineers to verify that voltage undershoot and overshoot remain within tight tolerances, while directly evaluating the regulator's control loop stability, damping, and settling behavior under large-signal stress.

Goal

The main goal of this project is to study, design, implement and verify a dynamic current sink which can be used to characterize the power supplies that are used in AXIS products.

The key features of the test board:

• To cover a wide range of regulation voltage and current loads.
• To be able to reach high slew rate values while being dynamically adjustable.

Who are you?

You are likely studying a Master Program within Electronics or Physics Engineering or similar, and you have a strong interest in analog electronic design and/or control theory.

OK, I am interested! What do I do now?

You are valuable to us – how nice that you are interested in one of our proposals! There are a few things for you to keep in mind when applying.

• Applications are accepted in both Swedish and English, and you apply via the proposal advert.
