Data Converters
High-performance Data Converters
StarIC has a rich history of delivering high performance and ultra-low power data converters (ADCs and DACs) for state-of-the-art applications. Our data converter IP has formed the basis of many complex SoCs and larger systems developed by the staff of StarIC. Our IPs use flexible architectures which can be readily adapted to different specifications and requirements. Additional IPs are available through an NDA. Contact us for more details.
STAR1010 - Ultra-low power 16b audio-rate ADC (96dBA)
An ADC which achieves audio rate performance with 96dbA dynamic range while consuming less than 200uA. Highly configurable, it can be configured in an over-sampled mode or in a Nyquist rate incremental mode. The IP is silicon proven and GDS ready in 40nm.
STAR1011 - Ultra low power 16b audio rate ADC (92dBA)
An ADC which achieves audio rate performance with 92dbA dynamic range while consuming less than 110uA. The IP is silicon proven and GDS ready in 65nm.
STAR3000 - 16b, 10Hz sensor ADC
A delta-sigma based ADC which achieves >96dB over a 10Hz bandwidth. It consumes <30uA of current and can sample negative voltages (as low as -0.25V). (180nm)
STAR3001 - 14b 50Hz sensor ADC
A delta-sigma based ADC which achieves >80dB SNR over a 50Hz bandwidth. (180nm)
STAR3002 - 12b, 560kS/s ADC
A cyclic based ADC which achieves >10b ENOB with current <0.3mA. (180nm)
STAR3003 - 11b, 1.5MS/s ADC
A SAR based topology achieves 10b ENOb while consuming <200uA. (180nm)
STAR3010 - 6b 3.5GS/s high-speed DAC
A high-speed DAC using a segmented architecture achieves an SNDR/SFDR of 32/36dB while consuming 100mW and a 550mVppd output swing (40nm)
