Analog Mixed Signal Processing & Circuit Design Solutions

We have over 250 person years of experience in areas like power management, analog signal processing circuits, clock circuits and high speed communication interfaces.

OVERVIEW OF

Analog Mixed Signal Processing & Circuit Design Solutions

In a highly digital environment, we believe that systems need to talk to each other and the outside world. These connections require analog components.

Our extensive experience of developing components across domains such as Power Management, ASP circuits, Clock Circuits and high speed Communication Interfaces have made us the preferred solution provider for global leading enterprises. We can ramp up high speed analog blocks or a low power and area constrained design as well as reduce full chip level simulation time by creating accurate Analog models at the block and full chip levels.

Our AMS (Analog Mixed Signal) Design Solutions include:

Architecture planning and feasibility Analysis
Circuit design and simulations
Layout design and Verification
Performance and Functional Modeling
Mixed Signal Verification and Co-Simulation
Design and Layout Migrations
Engineering Sample validation

Power Management

At Cientra, we have rich experience working across domains of Power Management Circuit and the necessary frameworks for low turn-on voltage circuits. . We have successfully delivered a variety of regulators, references, protection circuits and temperature sensors, in addition to high efficiency and low EMI noise. Some of the Power Management modules designed by Cientra are listed below:

DC-DC Converters (Buck/Boost)
Li-Ion Chargers
Switched Capacitor Voltage Regulator
Charge Pump
MOSFET Drivers
Motor Driver
LDOs
Low Power POR/BOD
High Precision BGR’s
High Precision Temperature Sensor
Constant Current Sink-LED Driver

Clock Circuits

Various circuits for clock generation and synthesis – including XO and VCXO clock modules, PLL based clock generators – designed at Cientra cater to state-of-the-art medium frequency range applications. These circuits provide precise clocks to required areas of the chip. We also have proven capabilities in designing high performance low skew DLL’s for different applications e.g. clock management, BIST, etc

Some of the Clock Modules designed by Cientra team are:

Low Power Crystal Oscillator, RC Oscillator
Low Jitter PLL and DLL Designs
Clock Buffers and Dividers

Signal Processing

At Cientra, we have delivered various Data Converter designs supporting low voltage and wide supply voltages; and have a proven record in designing ADCs with programmable resolution. We also have experience in delivering low noise and sensor interface applications. Some of the Data Converter Modules designed by Cientra are mentioned below:

SAR, Sigma Delta and Pipeline ADCs
DAC with high speed, low power and a rail to rail buffer
Read Out ICs for Accelerometers
Filters

High Speed Interfaces

We have a credible reputation in the part/ complete design of the following high speed blocks:

LVDS and CML Drivers
USB 2.0/3.0, PCIe Gen 2/3
Server Interconnect 10/11.2 Gbps
General Purpose IO Library
High Speed SERDES at 5 -12 Gbps
PHY Porting: MIPI, USB, HDMI, PCIe, DDR etc.

Technology Migration

Whether you are looking for some support in area reduction/feature enhancements or migration of your existing IP libraries from one technology to another, Cientra can assist you with the following services:

Porting design from same node of one FAB to another
Porting design from same FAB but different node
Feature enhancement or removal etc.

We understand, how critical it is to find the right Analog and Mixed Signal circuit design solutions partner, and also, a wrong decision-making can be expensive. To know how we are different from other Analog and Mixed Signal solutions companies, please email us at info@cientra.com.
