Expert analogue, mixed-signal and RF integrated circuit design — from concept to qualified reference design.
About Us
We are a small, highly experienced team of specialist designers covering the full analogue, mixed-signal and RF integrated circuit development lifecycle — from initial concept through to final qualified reference designs.
Many of our application areas — IoT, CubeSat LEO platforms, Automotive, Industrial — demand products that remain reliable in the field for a decade or more. We understand that parametric considerations such as device aging are not an afterthought: they must be designed for from the outset.
We work closely alongside your internal teams, sharing knowledge and experience at every stage to ensure a high-quality end product. Think of us not as contractors, but as part of your engineering family.
What We Do
Our engineers bring 10 to 30 years of individual experience across six core disciplines — each underpinned by a rigorous understanding of semiconductor device physics.
Precision amplifiers, references, filters, and data converters. We design to the limits of what each process can deliver, compensating for high-order device effects where necessary.
Bridging the analogue and digital worlds. We manage substrate coupling, dynamic range, and noise budgets across complex mixed-signal architectures.
LNAs, PAs, mixers, VCOs and complete front-end modules. Proven capability from sub-GHz IoT bands through S-Band and beyond in advanced CMOS.
System-level link budget, modulation selection, and architecture definition for LoRa, satellite, and custom wireless applications from IoT sensors to LEO communications.
SerDes, high-speed I/O, and signal integrity analysis for demanding communications interfaces. PCB design from single-layer through 14-layer and RF substrates on FR4.
Ultra-low quiescent current DC-DC converters, LDOs, and bandgap references. Specialist expertise in substrate isolation, guard-ring design and noise management in power ICs.
Analogue IC design has long resisted automation — it depends on hard-won intuition about device physics, layout parasitics and second-order effects that conventional EDA flows cannot capture. We are actively training machine-learning models on this expertise, teaching them to navigate the complex trade-offs between gain, noise, bandwidth, power and area. By learning from our own circuit topologies, sizing decisions and simulation results, these models accelerate the most time-consuming steps — from automated transistor sizing and design-space exploration to predicting performance ahead of full SPICE characterisation — letting our engineers reach optimal, first-time-right designs faster while keeping human judgement firmly in the loop.
Selected Projects
A selection of engagements demonstrating our depth across application domains, circuit techniques, and process technologies.
Working with a satellite manufacturing partner, we designed and built a demonstrator showing that Semtech's Chirped Spread Spectrum LoRa technology could close a communications link from LEO to ground — using a low-power, low-cost platform suitable for IoT sensor payloads in orbit.
A precision, low-power, low-noise bandgap reference addressing the high-order non-linearity of the silicon diode characteristic. Available as highly parameterised, process-portable IP — suitable for any standard CMOS node. Licensable with unlimited rights to use and modify.
Customer requirement: IP3 of 139 dBµV and sub-1 dB noise figure at 2.2 GHz in a 65 nm CMOS process — at the absolute limits of the technology. Achieved by compensating for high-order transistor non-linearity through a deep understanding of semiconductor device physics.
A highly integrated buck converter for a large SoC, with only an external inductor and capacitor. The design incorporated a low-noise bandgap reference, advanced guard-ring structures, and substrate isolation techniques to prevent minority carrier injection from the switching node corrupting sensitive analogue circuitry.
Senior Team
A small, senior team with the depth of experience to solve difficult problems — and the humility to do it alongside yours.
IP Portfolio
Over years of research and client engagements, we have developed a library of verified analogue and RF IP blocks — primarily designed to explore and validate new concepts, and to give us a head start when engaging on new projects.
This IP is available for standalone licensing, with unlimited rights to use and modify. We also regularly customise blocks to customer specifications, migrating to target processes and tuning performance parameters to meet your exact requirements.
