Background

About Michael Baker

My career has been focused on innovating in integrated circuit design, primarily by delivering highly efficient and high-performance analog, RF, and power management solutions. My research work at MIT established a strong foundation in low-power analog, starting with GHz front-ends for linearity and noise, identifying new optimization approaches for resonant wireless power transfer, and designing ultra-low-power systems for medical applications. In industry roles, this evolved into contributions in high-frequency DC-DC converters, emphasizing integrated passives and control topics for hybrid multi-level DC-DC converters, including internal state regulation. More recently, my expertise expanded to understanding the impact of lattice stress on compact band-gap references, as well as improving efficiency and cost for RF attach functions. Through this progression, I've consistently engineered designs that balance performance, power, and integration across a wide spectrum of demanding applications.
