RF/mmW and AMS microelectronics in CMOS and BiCMOS
Analog and mixed-signal
Akronic has extensive experience in IC design of virtually every analog and mixed-signal (AMS) building block of a modern telecom and radar transceiver radio.
We can offer our design services in a broad range of conventional and latest node dedicated IC fabrication technologies, and provide chip design solutions on both CMOS and BiCMOS processes.
