- Additional information
- First report of a semiconductor circuit solution that bypasses the need to include inductors in switch-based power conditioning interface circuits while still delivering state-of-the-art performance metric. These circuitries have previously been limited in miniaturisation, through the established semiconductor manufacturing techniques, due to the bulky inductor component. This work has therefore cleared the final technical obstacle, potentially enabling scaled production and cost reduction. This work has resulted in a patent filed (GB2017/050534), funded project £100k (part of EP/L010917/1) and a China Scholarship Council funded PhD studentship (£60k).
