…and Associate Professor Patrick Mercier Project: Vertical Hybrid Power Delivery for High-Performance Processors and Digital Systems Mobile devices must maximize battery life and minimize heat generation, limiting their performance. Autonomous vehicles rely on input/output (I/O) processor pins to handle large amounts of sensor data. However, a large number of pins are needed for power delivery. Power demands can generate data processing bottlenecks. Hardy and Abdulslam are using a novel power converter architecture to operate at optimal efficiency while reducing power losses. The team’s preliminary analysis shows this architecture can increase power delivery efficiency by up to 12%, as well as…
