About the person
Short vita
Prof. Karagounis studied communications engineering at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences. Parallel to his first professional activities in the IT and medical technology sector, the Cologne native completed a supplementary degree in electrical engineering at the University of Hagen. As part of his doctorate, he supported the development of a readout chip for the pixel detector at the ATLAS experiment, which is installed at the world's largest accelerator, the Large Hardron Collider in Geneva/Switzerland. After completing his doctorate, Prof. Karagounis worked for the Infineon subsidiary EPOS GmbH & Co KG in Duisburg as an analog/mixed-signal designer. There, the engineer developed integrated digital voltage regulators for the supply of microcontrollers with automotive applications. Prof. Karagounis then devoted himself to the development of phase-locked loop circuits, such as those used in smartphones with navigation functionality, as a radio frequency circuit designer at Intel Mobile Communications GmbH in Duisburg. In 2013, Prof. Karagounis was appointed to a basic professorship for electrical engineering at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences. Prof. Karagounis has been teaching electronics at Fachhochschule Dortmund since 2016.

Research & Development
Research & Development activities have a clear focus on the design of integrated analog/digital/mixed-signal and RF circuits in 180nm and 65nm CMOS technology.
Development work focuses, for example, on circuits for on-chip power management such as low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulators and DC/DC buck converters. Circuit blocks such as transimepdance amplifiers (TIA), time-to-digital converters (TDC) and delay-lock loops (DLL) are designed for optical applications. In the digital field, a number of protocol units such as I2C/CAN/Ethernet have been developed.
Microprocessor cores (MIPS, ARM, RISC-V) are also increasingly coming into focus for the implementation of complete system-on-chip (SoC) with local intelligence.
Of particular interest are circuit designs in radiation-hard design for use in high-energy physics experiments.
Here you can find information on current and completed research projects.
Ongoing research projects
Voltage regulator for serially supplied systems
Due to the very special conditions that prevail in the pixel detectors of the CERN experiments ATLAS and CMS, alternative supply schemes are currently being investigated to increase the supply efficiency. One approach is to connect the individual detector modules in series instead of in parallel and to supply them via a constant current source. This structure, which in principle is very similar to a string of lights, requires special measures to increase redundancy in order to prevent the entire chain from failing due to an interruption in the circuit. For this purpose, special voltage regulators are being designed in our laboratory (shunt LDO regulator), which allow the robust operation of several redundant regulators connected in parallel at module level. The project is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the University's internal research funding (HIFF) and the Graduate Center of Fachhochschule Dortmund.
Optical sensors for distance and angle measurement
The microelectronics industry in North Rhine-Westphalia has a strong focus on optical sensor technology, which is due to the fact that integrated optical sensors are playing an increasingly important role both in industrial automation and in automobiles in the application field of autonomous driving and passenger safety. In our laboratory, circuits and integrated sensors for distance measurements are designed according to the pulsed time-of-flight (TOF) principle. In addition, circuits for new types of optical angle sensors are being developed. This project is supported by the university's internal research funding (HIFF).
