Agile Analog’s configurable analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) data converters connect the real world to the digital world and will be deployed both within Palma Ceia SemiDesign's WiFi (WiFi 6 and HaLow) and LTE NB-IoT transceivers for high-performance and low-power data conversion, as well as within their on-chip monitoring and BIST (built-in self-test) for added reliability and reduced testing time. Palma Ceia SemiDesign’s wireless products will integrate power supply management functionality using Agile Analog Low Drop-Out supply regulators (LDOs) that are customized for multiple load currents to facilitate system design while maintaining low quiescent current to improve overall efficiency.
“We’re impressed with Agile Analog - the outstanding quality of their automatically generated analog IP makes it truly easy to integrate and use,” said Roy Jewell, CEO at Palma Ceia SemiDesign. “Add to this an innovative team we know well, that has extensive experience with complex SoCs, and you have a winning combination, both for products as well as service and support. Working collaboratively with Agile Analog will be a critical part in delivering our next generation of products.”
Tim Ramsdale, CEO at Agile Analog, added: “We’re proud to have our analog IP products used in Palma Ceia’s industry-leading wireless and cellular transceivers. The IoT and cellular markets are key industry growth areas with demanding requirements and an increasing need for customization. Using Agile Analog’s IP has enabled Palma Ceia SemiDesign to focus their internal resources on more differentiating factors of their world-class transceivers without sacrificing overall quality and performance.”
