Current Research activities at BICDL (pronounced as ‘big-deal!’) includes mixed-signal, Analog & RF integrated circuits (IC) design for consumer electronics & bio-medical appli- cations. We also have various projects for Wireless-Power Transfer technology includ- ing PMIC (Power Management IC) designs. Some of the recent projects were funded by Samsung Display, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Heavy Industry, DSME, KEPCO & many other government-funded projects. As of May 2023, we published 67 international journal papers, 68 international conference proceedings, 33 international patents, and 75 domestic patents. So far, 9 Ph.D. and 16

M.S Degree students graduated from BICDL, and currently 11 members are researching and working together at BICDL. Come join us for your bright future!
