Research Summary:

Prof. Hsin-Shu Chen’s research focuses on the design and verification of high-performance and energy-efficient mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), with applications in advanced communication and space electronic systems. His work includes CMOS data converters, such as high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), as well as power management ICs including DC-DC converters and energy harvesting systems for low-power and autonomous applications.

In the area of space electronics, a major research focus is on radiation-tolerant IC design and testing. This work addresses reliability challenges in harsh radiation environments by developing integrated approaches from circuit-level hardening to system-level validation, incorporating laser-based single-event effect (SEE) emulation and accelerator-based testing. These technologies are applied to low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and next-generation 6G communication systems.

Additional research topics include hardware security IC design based on physical unclonable functions (PUFs), as well as high-performance clocking circuits such as phase-locked loops (PLLs) and delay-locked loops (DLLs). The research also emphasizes design methodologies, signal integrity (SI), and power integrity (PI) for mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) integration, aiming to enhance system robustness and reliability.
