CCLASICCCLASIC

Cambridge Consultants has developed an extensive library of analogue, digital and wireless/radio building blocks and platforms for use in ASICs, structured ASICs, ASSPs and SoCs etc.

As semiconductor processes continue to shrink, the complexity of ASICs continues to grow and markets demand ever-shorter design cycles. ASIC developers cannot start every project completely from scratch and must employ re-usable components from libraries like CCLASIC if they are to be successful.

Using Cambridge Consultants' silicon-proven IP blocks will accelerate time-to-market and reduce risk. These IP cores can be customised to your exact specification and ported to your target semiconductor process. The library includes complimentary analogue and digital blocks, for example, digital decimation filters for our sigma-delta ADCs.

A complete listing of our analogue, digital and wireless IP and platforms with links to individual data sheets follows:


Analogue IP from the CCLASIC library

Our lower power radio and measurement expertise has led to the development of a number of analogue cells.
