ULP sensor read-out ASIC with ISO15693 compliant NFC
This ASIC is part of a battery powered wearable device. It has an on-chip ISO15693 compliant NFC to power the device externally and communicate with a standard NFC reader. The sensor readout contains an ultra-low-power front-end. A custom digital sequencer is implemented to optimise device power consumption. Features
Ultra-low-power high-accuracy neural recording ASIC
This ASIC can measure the response of the brain after a neural stimulation. Since the neural stimulation requires signals in a higher voltage range, this architecture has an artefact reduction on-chip to cancel out the primary pulse. Focus of the design is on ultra-low-power and high-accuracy neural recording. The design is compliant to ISO13485. Features
Piezo analog front-end ASIC for haptic touch
Screen based human-machine interfaces require a feedback to the user. Haptic touch feedback is a popular way to accomplish this. This mixed-signal ASIC generates high-voltage pulses to drive/sense the piezo elements that create the feeling of touch. It can be used in an automotive environment. Features
Time-of-Flight level measurement ASIC for automotive
High-voltage automotive qualified ASIC for the detection of fluid levels in a car (oil level, fuel level, …). The readout is based on US (UltraSound) transducers combined with a time-of-flight detection principle. The transducer elements require high-voltage drivers that are monolithically integrated on the ASIC. Features
Time-Of-Flight receiver channel ASIC with 10psec resolution
This ASIC is part of safety and surveillance systems, ADAS (Advanced driver-assistance systems) and gesture recognition applications. It uses a laser-pulsed oF (Time-of-Flight) detection principle to calculate the distance to objects using a state-of-the-art 16-bit resolution TDC (Time-to-Digital Convertor). The design is tailored towards functional safety SIL-2. Features
Ultrasonic TX/RX imaging for medical applications
This mixed-signal ASIC is interfaced to a PZT transducer array composing a state-of-the art ultrasonic TX/RX system for medical imaging applications. Individual elements are grouped by Sub-aperture (SAP) groups, each containing over 20 transducer elements. Features
