Mixed Signal Integration
As Essensium is a specialist SoC integrator covering analog and RF, we pay special attention to a careful integration of digital with analog and RF functions on the same silicon die.
Essensium has the expertise to ensure that a customer's mixed signal SoC ASIC works first time right by ensuring a series of key design measures, which are applied in a disciplined analog/digital integration flow.
