[2026] Projects with Prof. Makinwa

Master thesis projects on the following topics are available:

• Precision (sub-1ppm/C) Voltage References (ADI)
• Low-offset, Wide Bandwidth 3-D Magnetic Field Sensors (ADI)
• High-Resolution Wide-Bandwidth Sigma-Delta ADCs (NXP)
• Precision (sub-100ppm) RC/LC Frequency References (Infineon)
• Interface circuits for Solid-State Flow Sensors (University of Twente)
• Quiet (Ripple-free) Chopper amplifiers (TUD)
• High-performance Temperature Sensors (TUD)

Assignment

In 12 months, you will learn how to

• Design CMOS analog and mixed-signal systems
• Perform circuit simulations with Spectre
• Layout your design and then re-simulate the extracted layout
• Tape-out your design and measure the resulting chip
• How to present your work effectively (and maybe publish a paper)

In most cases, a stipend will be provided.
All projects are 60ECTS (extra project + thesis project).
Unless specifically indicated, all projects can be done in Delft.
For further information, please contact Prof. Makinwa

Requirements

Good grades in the following courses are a must,

• Measurement & Instrumentation
• Analog Fundamentals
• Analog CMOS Design I & II
• Nyquist-Rate Data Converters
• Oversampled Data Converters

Together with a strong intrinsic motivation!
