September 15, 2008 -- ChipX Corp. has added more than 60 industrial-grade analog building blocks to its line-up of analog and mixed-signal IP. Following the company's digital to analog converter family announcement in June 2008, ChipX is continuing to increase its analog and mixed-signal ASIC capabilities with a focus on medical, industrial, military and aerospace applications

Designed for signal conditioning, on-chip references, clocking, controlled reset, I/O and a variety of other analog functions, the analog building blocks are ideal for system-chip designs used in medical devices, industrial products, military and aerospace applications. Fully-characterized for industrial temperature in high-volume CMOS process geometries of ChipX foundry partners, the analog building blocks can be combined with other proven ChipX IP or trusted 3rd party IP for system-on-chip (SOC) designs.

The ChipX analog building block catalog consists of many general purpose functions, available in 250-nm, 180-nm and 130-nm processes. Building blocks include analog switches and multiplexers, charge pumps, comparators, self-calibrated termination, reference resistors, reference voltage and reference current generators, oscillator circuits, power-on-reset generators, operational amplifiers and various I/Os including HSTL, SSTL 1.5/ 1.8/ 2.5/ 3.3, LVPECL and LVDS.
