Xu Zhang received his B.S./M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2000 and 2003, respectively. He received a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA, in 2009.
In early 2010, Dr. Zhang joined Analog Devices where he designed many industry-first power controller ICs such as high voltage high power charge pump controllers, the novel hybrid Buck controller with switched-capacitors, bidirectional buck controllers, and 4-switch buck-boost controllers. He is now leading the Power Controller Group and responsible for developing high performance silicon-based power regulators and controllers.
