- This role is basically to understand product requirements and to design analog circuits for the functions and operations accordingly. In use of basic device characteristics of semiconductors, schematic circuits are designed with the following major functions:
- Circuits for conversion of inputs from outside (sensor, ADC, DAC)
- Power supply function (OP-Amp, DC-DC Convertor, Charge Pump)
- Clock generation function (OSC)
- Voltage change (Level Shifter)
- High-speed data transmission function (PHY, Tx, Rx)
Circuits stated above are designed and mixed with digital circuits to verify their operations, and these semiconductor chips to be developed are basically used to operate display panels.
