Model-Driven Co-Design of MEMS-Based Sensors and Interface Circuits
This component project of the CIDR program explores the interaction between MEMS-based sensors and their corresponding interface circuits, as well as formulates an effective way of co-designing and co-simulating both technologies. This will pave the way in understanding the tradeoffs that exist among the elements in such a system prior to actual sensor fabrication or interface circuit design. Through this project, analytical and behavioral models of MEMS sensors and interface circuits can be developed. Analysis on how the system will perform using these models through co-design methodologies of both the sensors and interface circuits can help optimize energy efficiency, enable faster functional verification of the system, reduce development cycle, and improve the accuracy of the system design.
