Technology architecture
Santech connects MEMS sensor front ends, analog readout, conversion, embedded processing and system interfaces in a reusable development pathway.
Technology pathway
Translate the use case into sensor specifications, interfaces, PPA targets and reliability requirements.
Characterize the sensing element, low-noise AFE, ADC or frequency readout and calibration model.
Partition reusable mixed-signal IP, embedded processing, security and system connectivity.
Close simulation, functional verification, DFT, physical sign-off and MPW or tape-out readiness.
Coordinate OSAT, bench characterization, reliability screening and customer qualification.
Product platforms
The two programs share one development pathway while addressing different parts of the system: JCB is developing the sensing and instrumentation layer; Albert is defining reusable mixed-signal processing and interfaces.
MEMS sensing and portable instrumentation
Jagdish Chandra Bose (JCB) is a research and prototype program for gas/VOC, pressure, thermal-flow and other application-specific sensing options. Current work focuses on characterizing sensor signals, calibration workflows and repeatable data collection.
Reusable mixed-signal and edge intelligence
Albert is a reusable mixed-signal architecture under development for gas/VOC, acoustic, pressure, thermal-flow and motion-sensor families. Current work is defining the readout blocks, verification plan, packaging and qualification path.
JCB and Albert bring together sensing, mixed-signal electronics and embedded processing for applications across six industries.
