Mission
PEL is an electronic laboratory dedicated to the analysis and design of energy conversion circuits and systems. In this facility phd and undergraduate students can design and test power management circuits prototypes.
The design activity is supported by specific simulation software as Cadence for IC level design, SIMPLIS/Simetrix for higher level circuit design and ANSYS electronics suit for magnetic passive design, power delivery network analysis and EMI analysis.
