Internship in Electrical Energy for Master of Engineering Students in Germany

Microchip Technology Inc is offering an internship for Masters of Engineering students in Germany in Electric Power. The trainee will be responsible for conceptualizing and designing an ultra-high switching frequency PWM control buck converter for an automotive, point of load application (150mA) over a period of 6 months.

Thesis Description:

The main tasks covered by this master thesis are as follows:

• Research literature and analyze state-of-the-art constant switching frequency architectures.
• Develop a new architecture fitting for ultra-high switching frequency PWM control of DC-DC converter. As an example, in this thesis, a step-down converter will be used for demonstration purposes. The current starved delay line-based architecture has been identified as one potential architecture to be used.
• Modeling and analyzing the ultra-high switching frequency step-down converter in SIMPLIS, including stability analysis over operation corner conditions and identification of critical components specification boundaries.
• Transistor level design of critical component(s) in Cadence Virtuoso (optional).
• Complete a written report.

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or some related field.
• Basic understanding of switch-mode power supply (SMPS) topologies and control methods.
• Basic knowledge of feedback and control theory.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with modeling in SIMPLIS and design in Cadence Virtuoso.
