Applicant's Roles
1. Conduct a comprehensive literature review of state-of-the-art 48V-to-1V converter architectures and synthesize key insights into a formal summary report.
2. Design and validate the proposed architecture using QSpice simulations, ensuring the circuit meets targeted performance specifications (e.g., efficiency, transient response).
3. Develop the hardware prototype by designing the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout, assembling the components, and performing rigorous bench testing to evaluate the physical system.
