The focus on my research is on the design of integrated CMOS circuits for sensor systems: with concrete research projects on the integration of sensors, sensor system to sensor system, communication and methods of (artificial) intelligence for application oriented evaluation of raw data of complex sensor systems.

Prof. Ralf Brederlow‘s (*1970) research area are integrated CMOS circuit designs and intelligent sensor systems. By deploying analog and digital integrated circuits, principles of artificial intelligence, and by using small and simple sensors, the virtual system can be assembled to a much more precise, versatile, but also more flexible sensor system.

Ralf Brederlow has studied physics at university of Wuerzburg and TU Munich. He did his doctor in electrical engineering in a cooperation of Corporate Research of Siemens AG and the TU Berlin. In 1999 he joined Infineon as development engineer and project manager. At that time he worked on technical and scientific questions towards analog circuit-, sensor, and technology concepts for microelectronics. Since end of 2006 he was group lead and later IP development lead at Texas Instruments. His responsibility was analog and digital circuit development for an energy optimized micro-controller product family (MSP430). At that time he has developed several fundamental concepts for circuit design and architectures, as used in many sensor in the internet of things today. Since2015 he led a research team at Texas Instruments (Kilby Labs) in Freising exploring intelligent sensor circuits. Until early 2019 he worked there on new concepts for intelligent sensors and circuits for short range communications. In April 2019, Prof. Brederlow established the new Chair of Circuit Design at TUM, which deals with all aspects of the above topics. Siince April 2021 he has also been a consultant at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS).
