AFX010x Analog Front End

A family of reconfigurable analog-to-digital converter chips built on SCCORE technology. The AFX0101 is a quad continuous-time delta-sigma ADC sampling at up to 5 GSPS with software-configurable resolution from 8 to 16 bits and selectable digital bandwidth from 20 MHz to 300 MHz. Products ship with evaluation boards and user-friendly software for rapid system prototyping, targeting radar, digital oscilloscopes and high-resolution data acquisition systems.

SCCORE Signal Conversion Platform

Proprietary continuous-time delta-sigma ADC and DAC technology platform with on-chip calibration that enables wideband signal digitisation up to multiple GHz. SCCORE underpins all SCALINX products and is also available as licensable IP for customers building SoC transceivers, dual-band microwave and millimetre-wave chips, or agile RF receivers for phased-array radar.

Signal Conversion ASIC Service

Custom mixed-signal ASIC design and supply service for organisations that require signal conversion capabilities tailored to specific performance or integration requirements. SCALINX delivers designs as GDSII files, known-good die for multi-chip modules or fully integrated turnkey packaged devices. The service draws on a growing internal IP portfolio to reduce development risk and shorten time to market.
