Solutions
The portfolio of silicon proven IQ Analog data converter technologies is ideal for wireless, consumer, and digital imaging applications which demand configurability, ease of integration, power and size efficiency. The portfolio of ADCs and AFEs was developed with process portability in mind, across both foundries and technologies.
Key characteristics of the family of IQ Analog Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs), integrated analog front ends (AFEs), and IC products include:
- Leveraging greater circuitry density of advanced CMOS processes
- Smallest floorplan and lowest-power in class to support SoC integration
- Support of both digitizing and generation of 10,12, and 14-bit resolution, and wide bandwidth (>50MHz) signals
- Support of multi-standard wireless systems (802.11x and 802.16e)
- Multi-channel capability is ideally suited for MIMO applications
- Proven portability across multiple CMOS technologies & foundries; 180/130/90/65nm in Jazz, SMIC, UMC, Silterra, TSMC, and IBM
- Utilization of i2c serial interface enables extensive configurability
- 8-channel AFEs eliminate the need for multiple discrete devices in broadband wireless applications such as Base Transceiver Stations (BTS)
We license our advanced mixed signal technology to leading edge System-On-Chip developers and semiconductor companies across a spectrum of applications, such as:
