General information
- Short Summary
-
The French start-up that work on micro-electronics, is looking for business and innovation partnership
and/or R&D partnership - Full Description
-
French company specialized in designing innovative IP for CMOS image sensors and providing engineering services for integrated circuits design.
It operates in IoT, medical imaging, space, automotive & smart mobility, industrial, smart city, consumer, smart home markets and wherever image sensors have their place.
The company develops and sells an Analog-to-Digital Converter (in IP form) for image sensors and other circuits with very high performance. In order to support their clients in their integrated circuits development, they also offer expertise in Analog, Layout and Digital Design, and Physical Implementation through a customized integrated circuits design service.
This french design house work on an hybrid Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), that is an innovative patented technology for image sensors. The result is an innovative ADC that offers superior performance to standard IP on the market.
The ADC is an innovative and patented technology for image sensors. It combines the advantages of RAMP and SAR architectures to create an innovative converter (in the form of IP) that offers superior performance to standard IP on the market. The ADC is an hybrid solution of column ADC that delivers exceptional results in terms of speed, precision, image quality, and surface pitch.
Already silicon proven in 130nm technology node it is adapted to all application fields (Xray, infrared, visible, audio, terahertz…).
Type of partner:
- Image sensors design house.
- IP provider.
- Laboratory.
- Semiconductor foundry.
- Any companies (start-up, SME, big companies…) looking for custom image sensors.
Role of the partner:
- Business and innovation partnership
- R&D partnership - Advantages and Innovations
-
Design Features:
A single ADC is able to deal with several channels. It allows to convert easily large pixel matrices
- Multi-channel ADC (over 800)
The ADC has a very high resolution that provide precise information and facilitate a good image quality
- High resolution (14bits)
The converter also has a low cross talk. This enable to reduce noises between all ADC.
- Cross talk less than 1LSB
- Small surface area (8.5µ pitch)
It provides a more efficient Image Sensors with:
- Speed multiplied by 20.
- Speed/Consumption multiplied by 6.
- Denser Image Sensor
- Lower power consumption
- Finer granularity
- Adaptable according to your needs
The ADC combines the advantages of two technologies that already exist on the market. - Stage of Development
- Already on the market
- Sustainable Development Goals
- Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- IPR description
-
Design specifications:
- Input signal dynamics at 2.4V
- Speed of 30ks per second per channel (max 300ks/s)
- Power consumption: 110µW all included (ADC standalone = 50µW)
- Full linearity 2LSB
