Below are a few examples of topics about power control and design in low voltage circuits, I'm sure some of them overlap. Feel free to add more talks and leave some comments. | Below are a few examples of topics about power control and design in low voltage circuits, I'm sure some of them overlap.

This is a "wish list" of topics our members would like to hear about. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on the page. The format is up to you, it could be a very short presentation or a more hands-on demo. Sessions are open to everyone.
Below are a few examples of topics about power control and design in low voltage circuits, I'm sure some of them overlap. Feel free to add more talks and leave some comments.
