Kaben works with companies having a high level of expertise in module development, to move designs to a new level of integration. Together, we leverage our partners application experience with our IC design expertise, to deliver market winning solutions.
The latest innovations in SoC design require an extensive library of IP to minimize technical risk, and avoid legal infringement. Kaben has proven analog, digital, and mixed-signal IP blocks, and customizes them for each application to provide a smooth delivery of our customer's chip. Our System architects work seamlessly with your engineers to create highly differentiated solutions that simplify complicated designs. Our competence ranges from systems architecture to circuit design, Verilog, RTL, digital synthesis, circuit verification, physical implementation and electro-migration, to deliver reliable products to market.
Whether working in an IP delivery mode, or as a business providing full Turnkey chips, Kaben staff can hand off the designs at various stages of development, complementing the customer's in-house expertise.
Kaben's underlying technology is based in five key areas:
-
Programmable Intermediate Frequency Strip (PIFS Technology)
-
These Programmable IF Strips are made up of Kaben's SIF, DIF and synthesizer building blocks (see below) to create Transceivers of unsurpassed performance and flexibility. PIFS offer field programmable IF frequency, bandwidth, and gain, to enable software defined radios, or to allow “switching on the fly” between several standards.
-
Programmable On-chip Filter Technology (SIF)
-
Kaben's unique on-chip programmable filter technology performs a multitude of SAW-like filtering operations in a receiver without the need for external SAW filters. The SIF provides channel select filtering, image reject filtering, anti-aliasing filtering, AGC, sampling, and output digitization. Inherent in the SIF architecture is zero group delay distortion performance. Also, the SIF has the capability to simultaneously receive non-adjacent channels and to “re-pack” them into adjacent channels in its baseband. These unparallelled levels of capability enables highly reconfigurable, high performance receivers
-
Digital-to-Intermediate-Frequency Converters (DIF)
-
The Digital-to-IF Converters use digital techniques and FIR technology to vastly improve the up-converters in transmitters. The digital baseband input is directly converted to IF with no distortion resulting from I/Q imbalance. The DIF can also provide high image rejection and single-sideband suppression, and enables adaptive pre-distortion to optimize a transmitter's external power amplifier.
-
ΔΣ Frequency Synthesizers
-
Kaben's synthesizer capability is unmatched in the industry. Having extremely low phase noise, spurious response and jitter, in addition to very fine frequency selectivity and fast tuning, means that our delta-sigma synthesizer core is able to address any requirement.
-
Digital
-
Our digital system and gate level/RTL design expertise in Place and Route and ARM microprocessor integration compliments Kaben's extensive RF and analog capability.
Kaben's Turnkey business model incorporates the complete Supply Management chain. Leveraging our Foundry relationships, Packaging, and Test House partnerships, we can quickly bring our customers to SoC functionality.
