Microelectronic design of polarisation, conditioning and acquisition circuits for the sensors described. For polarisation we study advanced current sources, oscillators, multiplexed excitations... We work with advanced amplifiers with specific characteristics (lock-in, low noise...).
Design of integrated circuits for vision, especially application-specific selective gear-guided vision and cameras.
Development of solid-state magnetic sensors based on the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect. Design of optimal application-oriented structures. Complete definition of the manufacturing process. Comprehensive analysis including finite element modelling (FEM) and electrical and functional characterisation: sensitivity, thermal drifts, noise level, frequency response, etc. Proposal, development and evaluation of applications: electrical current measurement, gradiometers.
Development, updating and integration of tools for the recording, processing and analysis of cardiac electrophysiological signals based on multi-electrode devices and optical mapping systems (voltage and calcium signal analysis).
Development of new models and technologies related to the field of Smart Grids. Research into both the theoretical foundations of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and its practical application.
Design of printed circuit boards for high-speed digital electronics.
Design of low-noise analogue circuits.
Development of equipment and algorithms custom-made for their aqcuisition and signal processing.
Theoretical studies for the improvement of signal integrity (reduction of coupling and electromagnetic emission in high-speed digital transmission systems. Study of power distribution schemes to improve the quality of digital signals.
