ICsense

Business Cases

These recent succesful business cases are an illustration of the analog, mixed-signal and high-voltage ASIC projects performed at ICsense.

12-bit MEMS Gyroscope interface

12-bit Magnetic sensor interface IC for automotive applications

High-efficiency DCDC converters

High-voltage battery management ASIC

Ultra Low Power Capacitive Sensor Interface ASIC

High-voltage driver circuits up to 95V

High-voltage, high-accuracy drivers for medical implants

Ultra-low power, high-accuracy ADC
 ICsense has developed several ultra-low power ADCs typically for sensor/MEMS data acquisition. ICsense has developed a technique to trade-off resolution, power and area using the same ADC topology. This topology can easily be ported to different technology nodes.
