Master Thesis: Precision Current Monitoring for integrated DCDC drivers cricuit (f/m/div)

Do you want to deepen your knowledge by getting some work experience and as cherry on top doing your Master Thesis with a future-oriented company on a real-life topic? If you are currently studying in the field of engineering or similar then do not hesitate to apply now and join our team in Graz!

You will be responsible for investigating and implementing a monitoring circuitry to measure the output current of the half-bridge and create an integrated circuit design to ensure that the SMPS are operating efficiently at increased switching frequencies.

Your responsibilities will include the following:

• Learning the basics of the Buck converter and the current monitoring circuitry
• Studying different concepts of current monitoring and analyzing their pros and cons
• Developing an integrated circuit design to monitor the coil current for the next generation of bridge drivers

This thesis has to be written in cooperation with an university.
