About

IQ Analog is a next generation fabless semiconductor company providing superior mixed-signal data converter technology for RF systems. Our Analog to Digital Converters (ADC’s) and Analog Front End’s (AFE’s) enable significant performance enhancements and cost reductions for Systems-on-Chip (SoC) solutions in the cellular / WiMax base station transceiver, Digital Video Broadband, Digital Imaging, and high fidelity audio systems markets. We were founded in 2005 by industry veterans, who previously held managerial and technical leadership roles at Broadcom, Conexant, Brooktree, TRW LSI, Entropic, Innovent, and RFMD. IQ-Analog is a privately held company headquartered in San Diego, CA.

Mission and Vision

Our mission is to provide disruptive new levels of performance, size and power efficiency for RF systems through our proprietary adaptive calibration techniques. Our technology is a critical enabler for applications where manufacturing costs, physical dimension, battery life, and greater signal resolution are competitive differentiators. As foundries continue to condense digital dimensions, the resulting consequence is that analog functions remain the bottleneck for interfacing to the connectivity points (cable, antenna, etc.). To address these challenges, we leverage innovative approaches in digital calibration to correct for analog component deficiencies. The result of our efforts? ADC’s and AFE’s which are up to 10x smaller in die size and require 10x less power than comparable converter technology from established providers.
