Participating in the Chipathon gives our research team the ability to understand these vulnerabilities by providing the means to fabricate a design. Since the design will be fabricated in an open source technology, fault injection can be performed on exact locations and therefore provide greater insight into fault vulnerabilities and the effectiveness of fault mitigation techniques. Team: Greece (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece) (see Figure 5) Team members: Stefanos Kontogiannis and Nikolaos (undergraduate students); Andreas Tsiougkos (Ph.D. student); Vasilis F. Pavlidis (associate professor/mentor) Project title: Novel Boost Converter for Battery-Less Powered IoT Uses GitHub URL: https://github.com/ S t ephenKont / Non _ PWM _ Boos t _Converter.git Our idea: The IoT revolution has brought with it the need for better power delivery circuits with high efficiency to extend service intervals for battery-operated devices. Our project focuses on implementing a new dc-dc boost converter topology that aims at utilizing as FIGURE 5: Team Greece. much of the available energy as possible, i.e., the energy supplied by a battery or an energy harvester. It focuses on maintaining high output voltage while the battery voltage falls as it drains, thus extending its useful lifetime. Our circuit features a single-stage topology with no need for PWM to achieve lower dissipated power and reduced complexity. An LDO is instead used for the controllability of the output voltage. Why we are participating: This contest is a great opportunity for FIGURE 6: Team Pakistan 4.
