Saphyrion IC product line consists of radiation hardened RF analog and mixed-signal devices meant to implement the RF receiver section of high quality GNSS receivers. They consist of RF front-ends (SY1007/08) and AD/DA-converter/interface (SY1017/17C) ASICs. Their typical use is in professional GNSS receivers, targeted towards high reliability and aerospace applications. All GNSS frequencies (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS) are covered by these devices. Space qualified versions to ESA ESCC9000 will be available.
- SY1007 Configurable rad-hard GNSS RF front-end
(Space qualified (ESCC9000)) - SY1008 Highly integrated rad-hard GNSS RF front-end
- SY1017C Radiation hardened AD/DA-converter and PLL ASIC
(Space qualified (ESCC9000)) - Applications information
- Quality and Reliability
With its >10 years expertise in RF and analog IC designs, Saphyrion can deliver ASIC engineering or designs to customer's specifications, as well as RF testing and validation.
The following are examples that were designed or produced at Saphyrion:
- Dual band GPS L1/Galileo E1 and GPS L2C RF front-end, 0.18um SiGe process.For high performance mid volume commercial applications (PNDs, car entertainment, professional receivers).
- High integration GPS L1/Galileo E1 RF front-end section for a GNSS receiver, 65nm CMOS process. For high volume lowest cost applications (cellphones, media players, cameras, PNDs).
- Power management section for various GNSS receiver ASICs. 0.35um BiCMOS and 180nm to 65nm CMOS processes. Voltage references, regulators, RTC and NVRAM management, temperature sensors, AD/DA-converters.
- Library of rad-hard pads, 0.35um SiGe process.
