This project explores the use of open-source tools to design, simulate, and prototype custom integrated circuits at low cost. An 8-bit SAR ADC and support circuitry were developed using Icarus Verilog, KiCad, Qspice, Arduino and Python. We aim to make chip development more accessible to students, researchers and small companies. Video Research poster View the…

Develop a High Frequency Electrochemical Capacitor (HF-EC) housed inside a compact, surface-mount package to support operation at high-frequencies and promote circuit miniaturization. The HF-EC is to have improved filtering for applications at line frequencies and replace the use of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, or AECs. These devices specifically target use cases in energy harvesting and filtering…

This project is primarily focused on the creation of a DC to DC converter that is able to utilize renewable energy from a photovoltaic system to create hydrogen through the process of electrolysis in a PEMWE.

A programmable metasurface, or PM, is an array of sub-wavelength, tunable radiating elements. A PM reflects an incident electromagnetic wave as a beam and can manipulate this beam electronically. Our team designed a high-speed programmable metasurface that can switch between beams fast enough to encode additional data, opening up a new realm of possibilities in…

Our team created a product that can help guide the visually impaired community through non-intrusive technology. Our product contains a camera, raspberry pi 5, 5v 4a lithium ion batteries, and 5 haptic motors. Using OpenCV and YOLOv12, Our teams device can identify potential hazards and can help guide the user to safety.  Video Research poster…

Utilizing the advantages of an FPGA, our team has created an Atari 2600 hardware emulator. This emulator implements RTL/Verilog versions of each original chip in order to ensure that the project performs in the same way the original console did. With additional modules to modernize it for a modern display, the use of on-board features…

This project involves the design and implementation of a fault-tolerant, wireless energy harvester for a cardiac stimulator. The system uses RF energy at 2.4 GHz to power the implantable device which delivers controlled monophasic pulses for therapeutic stimulation. The redesign prioritizes fault tolerance, enabling the system to maintain continuous operation even in the presence of…

This project is an alternative to water treatment industry standard evaporation ponds that will condense the evaporation process into a small area using sophisticated motor controls and instrumentation.  Video Research poster View the poster Sponsor Advisor Unknown person Arizona State [email protected]

To develop means to bypass safety features that would otherwise prevent the vehicle from running. This device is intended for military/combat use situations. We successfully developed an Arduino based device which mimics an ECU on the vehicle’s controller area network (CAN Bus) to bypass the vehicle’s safety features.
