Technology pathway

From product definition to tape-out and qualified silicon

  1. Product definition

    Translate the use case into sensor specifications, interfaces, PPA targets and reliability requirements.

  2. MEMS + analog IP

    Characterize the sensing element, low-noise AFE, ADC or frequency readout and calibration model.

  3. SoC architecture

    Partition reusable mixed-signal IP, embedded processing, security and system connectivity.

  4. Verification + tape-out

    Close simulation, functional verification, DFT, physical sign-off and MPW or tape-out readiness.

  5. Package + qualification

    Coordinate OSAT, bench characterization, reliability screening and customer qualification.

Core product programs

JCB and Albert: coordinated development programs

JCB (Jagdish Chandra Bose) is developing the sensing and instrumentation layer. Albert is defining a reusable mixed-signal architecture to connect those signals to applications.
