The lab realizes energy-efficient, high-performance electronic systems starting from circuit design.
AboutAbout the lab
A lab that builds the future from circuits.
Islam Lab studies low-power circuits and next-generation computing technology.
The lab aims to realize electronic systems that are both energy-efficient and high-performance, for IoT devices and edge devices.
Its scope ranges from power supply circuits essential to smartphones and PCs, to mixed analog-digital circuits, to new computing approaches such as computing-in-memory.
A newly started lab, it welcomes visits and consultations.
Key terms
- Computing-in-memory
- An approach that performs computation directly inside the memory where data is stored
- True random number generator (TRNG)
- A circuit that produces an unpredictable sequence of numbers from physical fluctuations within the circuit. It is used for cryptography and secure communication
- LDO
- A type of power supply circuit that steps the supply voltage down to the constant voltage a circuit uses and keeps it stable

Aiming for electronic systems that are energy-efficient yet high-performance, the lab studies circuits built on chips. It works on temperature sensors, power supply circuits, circuits that generate random numbers, and circuits for AI computation.
*Illustrative imageLow-power temperature sensors
This research aims to let the temperature sensors that are multiplying around us with the spread of IoT measure accurately with little power. The lab explores a method that uses the variation between devices as a clue for measuring temperature.
*Illustrative imageCompact true random number generators
This research builds true random number generators (TRNGs), which are essential for secure communication and cryptography, with small area and low power. The goal is a generator that can be embedded anywhere on a chip.
*Illustrative imageOn-chip power supply circuits (LDO)
The lab develops digital LDOs that adapt quickly to load changes without external signals or a clock. It focuses on techniques that use analog circuits to support digital operation.
*Illustrative imageOn-chip DC/DC converters
The lab develops very low-noise switched-capacitor DC/DC converters that are fully self-contained within the chip. The goal is to track the load current while suppressing fluctuation of the output voltage.
