  • Low power techniques and multiple power domain control under the UPF standard
  • LVS
  • Physical verification and GDSII generation

Analog Design

Our analog engineers have strong experience in analog and mixed signal IC design from 350 nm and 180 nm HV planar nodes down to 65 nm and SOI technologies. Some of our past designs include: Bandgap references, Sigma-Delta modulators, ADCs, LDOs, OpAmps, UVLs, high order continuous filters, HV current sources, etc.

Our team’s analog expertise using the major EDA tools providers includes:

  • Specification writing and feasibility analysis
  • Circuit design and simulation
  • Analog and custom digital layout design
  • Physical verification of the design (DRC, LVS, ERC, DFM)
  • Layout parasitic extraction and post-layout simulation
  • Verilog A and Verilog AMS model development

IP Cores

RISC-V Ultra-Low Power Core

Silicon-tested ultra-low-power RISC-V based microcontroller on a 0.18um and 65nm CMOS commercial processes.

 

  • Silicon-tested ultra low power (48.31 pJ/cycle @1MHz per core on 0.18um commercial process.
  • Ultra-Compact RISC-V 32RVI compatible microcontroller: dual and single core IP solutions (less than 32k gates per core)
  • Include SPI, Bootstrap, UART and SRAM memory controllers.
  • Full instruction-set implementation (32RVI 32-bit base integer) with custom special GPIO instructions
  • IP is capable of replacing 8 and 16-bit microcontroller solutions while being flexible and expandable to 32-bits, maintaining complete compatibility to RISC-V open-source toolchains.

Configurable Clock-Gated 32-bit Bus Manager

This generic IP bus generator facilitates power management and integration of other IP blocks to a RISC-V core, memory controllers, SPI blocks and standard APB/AHB protocols.
