Welcome to IPRO 344 - Energy-Efficient Audio Circuits for Mobile Device
About
IPRO 344 was founded by Dr. Wong for the Fall 2007 semester with a stated long term purpose of studying and improving technologies for use in low-power mobile audio applications. IPRO 344 had been outlined as the first in a multi-semester project, with each subsequent semester building on the work of the previous semesters and a final objective of providing a diverse and complete toolkit for low-power mobile audio applications.

The reason for this IPRO is because users are demanding smaller and lighter devices, more features and more powerful processing power, and longer battery times. Unfortunately, improvements in the power density of consumer level batteries are significantly lacking behind user demands, bringing about the increasingly urgent need for exceptionally energy-efficient technologies upon which the next generation of devices can be built.
The first semester project is focused on the amplification stage of mobile audio applications.
