Silicon Validated General Purpose Analog IP Cores in Chartered 0.18um CMOS Process
CHIPIDEA has successfully silicon validated a complete set of analog / mixed-signal IPs in Chartered 0.18um CMOS process.

This large set of general purpose IPs have been designed specifically to cover a wide range of Analog Front-End requirements for several wireless, wireline and multi-media applications.
These IPs include:
Square CI7183xa Silicon Test Results
Test results show a very compact and low power voice codec with excellent voice quality for record/playback applications.
The compact area (0.42sqmm) and low current consumption (less than 1mA) combined with the voice signal quality (well above 65dB) make this IP a very competitive solution for Voice Signal Processing.

• CI8225aa - 10bit, 14MHz Current-Steering DAC
• CI8232aa - 10bit 500kHz DAC
• CI7226aa - Voice 16 bit sigma-delta codec
• CI7226aa - 8bit, 14MHz pipeline ADC
• CI3231aa - 10bit, 100kHz SAR ADC
• CI3231aa - Power on reset with references
• CI2230aa - Distributed Voltage Regulator
• CI1229aa - 240MHz clock multiplying PLL
• CI12233aa - USB2.0 LS/FS AFE


All above IPs show excellent performance in Silicon. Some test results of CI12233aa and CI7226aa are shown below. Detailed information can be found in www.chipidea.com.

Graph • CI12233aa is fully compliant with the USB 2.0 standard.
It shows a remarkable performance in terms of area, power consumption and margin to the specifications
