RF and Mixed Signal Measurement Systems

We turn your ideas into customized semiconductor solutions!

As a member of the Fraunhofer Microelectronics Alliance, we operate technology-independently and, as a fabless design house, select the optimal semiconductor technology for your specific requirements. Our core expertise lies in analog circuit design — ranging from high-precision reference circuits and ultrasonic sensing to neuromorphic computing.

From concept to finished ASIC, we support the entire development cycle — from feasibility studies, design, simulation, layout, and verification through to final validation. We integrate both proprietary circuit blocks and third-party IP.

Our Expertise in Circuit Design

 

ASICs for Ultrasonic MEMS Devices

Ultrasonic MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) is a miniaturized mechanical system, deploying ultrasonic technology for its functionality.

Fraunhofer EMFT offering for Ultrasonic MEMS ASIC development comprises design, characterization and control of the ASIC interfaces for customer-specific ultrasonic MEMS solutions.

 

High-voltage Drivers for MEMS Sensors and Actuators

MEMS sensors and actuators mostly require high voltages at low power output for their functionality.

Design, characterizastion and test of high voltage ASICs for various MEMS sensors and actuators belong to the core competences of Fraunhofer EMFT.

 

Circuit Design for Neuromorphic Computing

Neuromorphic Computing aims at increasing the energy efficiency of circuits, in order to reduce the enormous electricity consumption of data centers.

The Fraunhofer EMFT scientists deploy their competences for development of innovative concepts for implementing analogue and digital neuromorphic circuits.

 

 

Current and Voltage References

Current and voltage references are essential components for most Systems-on-Chip (SoC), and important for special robustness against variations in supply and fabrication.

The IP development at Fraunhofer EMFT includes circuit design considering the interface requirements, as well as complete characterization and calibration possibilities.

 

Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC)

Analog-Digital Converters (ADCs) function as interface between digital circuits and real-world analogue signals.

Fraunhofer EMFT possesses long-term experience with design of high performance ADCs for various application areas.

 

RF and mmW Frequency Synthesizer

RF and mmW frequency synthesizers are core components in most ultra-high frequency (UHF) circuits and systems for communication applications in microwave and millimeterwave frequency range.

Fraunhofer EMFT is specialized in design and modelling of RF and mmW frequency synthesizers upto 100 GHz as well as lab characterization with measurements upto 750 GHz.
