General Information

Year Founded: 2004 Number of Employees: 25

ICsense is an ISO 9001:2000 certified IC design house offering high-performance analog, mixed-signal and high-voltage IC design services and ASIC turnkey solutions.

ICsense provides best-in-class IC design services from consultancy and building block design up to complete mixed-signal ASICs or SoCs. The key expertise domains are:
- Sensor-and-actuator and MEMS interfacing with high-accuracy, low cost and low power
- Power management with high-efficiency
- High-voltage circuits and drivers
- High-voltage in low-voltage technology (3.3V IO buffer in 40nm TSMC G with 1.8V devices)
- Timing circuits (low-jitter PLLs, accurate Xtal-less oscillators)

ICsense is an enabler of innovative ASIC turnkey solutions beyond the existing solutions on the market. We cooperate with dedicated partners to offer ASIC solutions, from concept to product, with the lowest power, highest performance and smallest form factor. ICsense manages the complete design of custom production-ready ICs.

ICsense’s added value proposition:
- High-performance innovative IC design
- Excellent first-silicon success rate through
- Reduced technical risk and time-to-market
- Close cooperation with customer
- Support of complete value chain from idea to product

ICsense partners:
- Sofics (www.sofics.com)
- Easics (www.easics.com)
- On Semiconductor (www.onsemi.com)
- Tego (www.tegoinc.com)

Projects carried out recently required advanced analog and mixed-signal IC design including high-voltage design (above 90V), design over extended temperature (up to 200 °C) and design for high reliability. Typical examples of IC projects are micro-volt absolute accuracy instrumentation ASIC (16 bit), a high-accuracy MEMS gyroscope interface, wireless Li-Ion battery charging and battery management, electrode array drivers for medical implants, DC-DC converters, magnetic sensor interface ASICs (GMR, Hall, …) and ultra-low-power ASICs for Gen 2 UHF RFIDs.
