Job Description

Your mission will consist in designing a PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier) in 55 nm 5 V technology—a key feature for our analog IPs. The PGA is integral to the acquisition chain in MCUs, amplifying input signals before ADC conversion with low noise and offset. Your design will be optimized for area, power consumption, offset and noise.
