ASIC Building Blocks

LinearChip has developed a number of reusable core building blocks.  These subcircuits enable the rapid development of ASICs for a wide variety of applications.  These building blocks include:

 

      Power Supply

-        LDO (low drop out regulator); boost and buck converters; DC/DC converters; charge pumps

 

      Signal Conditioning

-        Amplifiers (low noise; high frequency/fast slew rate; low offset including chopper stabilization); filtering (continuous time and switched); comparators; buffers; dynamic range compression amplifiers

 

      Data Conversion

-        Wide range of architectures for A/D and D/A converters

-        Conversion rates up to 200 Ms/sec

-    Sample/hold

-        Resolution up to 15 bits

 

      Interfaces

-        MEMS; Ethernet; NTDS; 1553; memory driver; USB; magnetic card reader; ATE pin driver

 

      Displays

-        LCD; OLED drivers and controllers

 

      Timing

-        Oscillators, frequency synthesizers, clock drivers

 

      Precision Current and Voltage Sources; Bandgap Voltage Regulator

 

      Random Logic

 

      Microprocessors

-        8051; 80251; MLX16; 6502

 

      Memory

-        RAM; ROM; EEPROM; OTP
