Analog, RF and Mixed Signal Design

Our mixed signal team has expertise in complex communication, data acquisition and signal processing/signal conditioning IC design. Application areas include wireless, digital media, industrial and automotive in addition to network physical layer designs.

Integrated Circuit Design Services

Intrinsix provides turnkey services in the development of integrated circuits from concept through to GDSII tape-out. Process technologies include CMOS, BiCMOS, SiGe, GaAs and Bipolar. Our analog and digital design teams have broad experience from DC to RF; from pure analog to complex mixed-signal to pure digital ICs; in low voltage / low power design, high voltage driver design, digital synthesis, design for test (DFT), digital signal processor (DSP),  microcontroller design, and embedded software design.

Sigma-Delta Experts

Designing low-power, accurate digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters can significantly differentiate your products in the marketplace with improved quality and longer battery life. We have extensive experience in the design of highly accurate sigma-delta (aka delta-sigma) modulators at audio and greater bandwidths as well as at gigahertz frequencies when used in direct digital down-converter applications.

Communication and Networking Front-Ends

Intrinsix has developed a novel Low-IF Digital Heterodyne Receiver which forms the basis of advanced wireless solutions. In addition, we have experience in developing advanced OFDM and Turbo-code based communications platforms forming the basis of a complete digital wireless receiver design.
