Circuit Types

We have proven expertise in the design of a broad range of mixed signal circuits:

  • Wireless power and data transmission circuitry
  • Gbit/s SERDES from 3 to 16 Gbit/s, using phase interpolators, phase mixers, linear equalizers and DFEs
  • Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs)
  • Digital to Analog Converters (DACs)
  • Synchronous to Asynchronous Microprocessor and Logic flow to halve power
  • Neural sensing and stimulation circuitry
  • Motion control
  • Power management
  • Phase Locked Loops (ring oscillators and LC PLLs, integer and fractional-N)
  • Power amplifiers
  • Built-in analog test circuits: included in our designs to enhance system and chip integration and debug
