Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)
In 2009 Intrinsix began leveraging the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program by applying its internally funded innovations within high-integration electronics for a range of DoD applications. The following table summarizes Intrinsix SBIR projects:
|
SBIR Number/Award Date |
SBIR Title |
Description |
|
AF093-160 Phase I – 12/09 Phase II – 6/11 Phase II STMP 8/15 |
Readout Integrated Circuit Technology for Strained Layer Superlattice Photodetectors |
Generically applies patent pending technique to enable SDM high dynamic range ADCs and mostly digital characteristics to Read Out Integrated Circuits (ROICs) |
|
MDA09-025 Phase I – 4/10 Phase II - 6/11 |
Radiation Hardened Monolithic Heterogeneous Processors |
Multicore System-on-Chip (SoC) Rad-Hard-by-Design (RHBD) techniques enable the design to be targeted for a high density process. The highly modular and scalable architecture with several Digital Signal Processing cores and several General Purpose Processing cores aims to accelerate space image processing applications. |

AF103-099 Phase I – 1/11 Phase II invite - 6/11 |
Miniature GPS Receiver to Support Operationally Responsive Space Missions
|
Intrinsix proposes to develop a miniaturized, low-power silicon radio architecture for a space qualified GPS receiver that is adequate for small spacecraft operation. |
|
A111-037 Phase 1 – 6/11 |
Real Time Adaptable Read Out Integrated Circuit (ROIC) |
ROIC enhancements for Real-Time adaptability to sense the scene content and to dynamically adjust resolution, frame rate, dynamic range and/or sensitivity to adapt to changing image quality and power consumption needs. |
|
MDA10-032 Phase 1 – 6/11 |
Rad-Hard, Low Power, Variable Bandwidth/Resolution Analog-to-Digital (ADC) and Digital to Analog (DAC) Converters |
A field programmable ADC and DAC both suitable for space and aeronautical applications. The patented Intrinsix approach eliminates the large power consumption penalty which is traditionally incurred with programmable SDMs. |
|
MDA10-033 Phase 1 – 6/11 |
Lightweight Components Single Chip Space Qualified GPS Receiver |
Intrinsix has developed a unique approach for receiving RF signals and converting them to a digital baseband signal. |
Intrinsix Mixed-Signal and Imaging teams have utilized their knowledge of the state-of-the-art and the demands of the market to innovate on base functions that cut across a wide range of applications. The following patents have either been awarded or are in the review process in the patent office:
