Recently, two remarkable teams from the College of Integrated Circuits at Zhejiang University made their mark at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). One is Professor Zhao Bo's team, specializing in low-power wireless sensing chips, and the other is Professor Qu Wanyuan's team, focusing on power management system design. Professor Zhao Bo's team has been at the forefront of technological innovation in wireless sensing chips, pushing the boundaries from 'ultra-low power' to 'near-zero power' consumption. Their groundbreaking work has led to the development of a battery-free wireless temperature sensing chip tailored for smart agriculture applications. This chip boasts an infinite battery life, effectively eliminating the need for frequent replacements and significantly slashing maintenance costs. Meanwhile, Professor Qu Wanyuan's team has achieved a significant breakthrough in the design of high-energy-density power management chips. They have pioneered the world's first 48V/1V data center power conversion chip, which integrates power transistors onto a single chip. This innovation offers a novel technological solution for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions in data centers.
