uVisia

Everything you need for a successful ASIC project from system concept to the delivery of fully tested custom integrated chips

Biomedical platform for ultra-low power vital signs monitoring providing a set of bio-sensor readouts power and clock management units, communication interfaces, processing functions ready for safer and faster integration.

This platform is the result of Belicim, a publicly-funded R&D project led by IC’Alps and supported by:

The R&D work continues. The objective is to get more and more IP technology blocks designed and validated on silicon for safer integration into ASIC.

This next phase of development will allow IC’Alps to design and test more and more blocks.
