IC’Alps provides custom integrated circuits for data acquisition and collection, data processing and secure data communication in the Industry 4.0
Data is the driving force behind Industry 4.0. From applications such as process automation, to preventive maintenance, or screening techniques, our custom ASICs enable real-time and remote data collection, processing and exchange, which makes them an ideal solution in today’s manufacturing and other industrial activities.
To secure your competitive advantage, working with IC’Alps guarantees that:
We also support multiple projects in the demanding medical, Automotive, IoT, and aeronautics space & defence sectors
Designing on target and cost effective integrated electronic systems takes an understanding of the specific requirements that exist within the industrial sector, but often hard to address with standard components.
An ASIC makes it possible to integrate all specifications in one chip including custom sensor interfaces, advanced connectivity, high-voltage operations, processing capability and security features.
IC’Alps is ISO 9001 certified for industrial ASIC design and supply Through our qualified design flow we can ensure first-time-right ASIC developments and guarantee an on-time delivery of your project.
We specialize in the domain of mixed-signal ASICs, particularly for sensor interfaces where low-noise analog elements for data acquisition meet with digital functions for data processing. We have an in-house pool of analog and digital experts and for each ASIC project we dedicate a team of specialists that will complement your team’s capabilities.
To meet the demand for smarter electronics and ensure we select the most appropriate processor core for each use case, we work with a range of partners for embedded processing IPs including Arm and RISC-V cores. We have a large experience designing ASIC and SoC incorporating mono or multi-core architectures. IC’Alps has been appointed Arm Approved Design Partner. This accreditation assures that we provide expert support and that we have the design expertise to create highly innovative Arm-based ASIC designs
For movement, pressure, or electric currents, we have the expertise to design the ASIC that will optimally interface with your choice of sensor.
The ASIC can integrate the communication system suited to your preferred protocol: wired or wireless, LoRa, Sigfox, or custom.
We design our ASICs for operation over a significantly extended period of time and under harsh conditions (temperature, radiation) while handling high input voltage range and currents.
Being an independent company, we can set up the supply chain that perfectly matches your ASIC project requirements, budget and schedule. We have been working and fostering relationships with leading semiconductor manufacturers and can thus leverage this experience and partnerships for your project. We support a wide range of technology nodes from 0.35μm to 16nm.
Hall effect sensor to control movement
Ultrasonic sensor for distance detection
Accelerometer to control speed
Environmental sensors
Altough our turnkey ASIC designs are customer-exclusive and tailored for each unique use case, our experience and expertise extend to cover a broad spectrum of applications in the industrial sector.
The Customer needed a truly innovative ASIC combining exacting technical requirements and strong constraints regarding the production unit price and the supply chain.
IC’Alps held full responsibility for the ASIC feasibility phase, the specification, the design, up to ASIC prototyping in 180 nm CMOS process. Full production expected to begin soon.
Embedding FPGA technology into ASICs allows engineers to combine the cost/power/
performance benefits of an ASIC with the flexibility offered by FPGAs to make changes to their design.
