Abstract: While integrated power converter is required in every modern electronic system, designing one that achieves both area- and power-efficient continues remains a challenge in many engineering teams. In this talk, the speaker will give an overview of integrated power converter design flow and some techniques in schematics and layout that would be very useful for junior power converter designers or experienced designers in a different areas of IC design.

Bio: Dr. Hanh-Phuc Le is an Associate Professor of ECE at the University of California San Diego and a co-Director of the Power Management Integration Center, an NSF IUCRC center. In 2012, he co-founded and served as the CTO at Lion Semiconductor until October 2015. The company technology was based on his Ph.D. research on switched capacitor DC-DC converter that the LionSemi team successfully developed into >100M fast battery charger IC parts used in multiple world leading phone and mobile device makers before the company was acquired by Cirrus Logic in 2021. Before joining UCSD, he also held R&D and consulting positions at Rambus, Oracle, Intel, JDA Tech in Korea and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) in Vietnam. He was an Assistant Professor with the University of Colorado Boulder from 2016 to 2019.
He authored three book chapters, over 70 journal and conference papers in various topics in the area of integrated power electronics and is an inventor with 24 U.S. patents (19 granted and 5 pending). His current research interests include miniaturized/on-die power conversions, large conversion ratios, smart power delivery and control for high performance IT systems, data centers, telecommunication, robots, automotive, mobile, wearable, and IoT applications.
Dr. Le received a 2021 NSF CAREER Award, the UC Berkeley’s 2013 Sevin Rosen Funds Award for Innovation, and a 2012-2013 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Pre-doctoral Achievement Award. He serves as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics (JESTPE) and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Letters (SSCL), and a member of the Steering Committee of the International Workshop on Power Supply On Chip (PwrSoC). In 2019 to 2023, he served as the Chair of the IEEE Power Electronics Society Technical Committee on Power Components, Integration, and Power ICs (IEEE PELS TC2). Dr. Le is an IEEE Senior Member.
