IC-LOGIC Microchips in Sulzbach

Success Stories

Our products find applications in the consumer, industrial, automotive and avionics sectors.

The following ASIC developments have been implemented by our engineers in recent years. In the consumer area: a UMTS modem, a VoIP / ISDN controller, a voice & video over IP processor, a DVD recorder chip, a fingerprint sensor as well as a key and a lock ASIC for electronic door locks. In the industrial area: two motor controller ASICs, several MMC / SD card controllers and a pressure sensor processor ASIC. In the automotive sector: a high speed multimedia controller and a mixed signal (analog, digital and high voltage) ASIC. In the avionics area, two CMOS image sensor ASICs and a 4 channel 4 quadrant analog multiplier were developed.

The following information serves to better assess the respective projects in terms of project duration, project scope and complexity.

IP CORES

IC-LOGIC is currently developing a modular, high speed and high resolution ADC that should achieve an SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) of 90 dB at 40 MS/s. By modular we mean that you can run this IP core at higher sampling rates, but get a smaller SNR. An initial goal after completion is to realize low power single chip radars for customers and to suit their specific requirements.
