Sensing and interface

We work on sensor interface amplifiers and ADCs for various applications ranging from biomedical applications to current sensing applications.

Projects

On-going

We are working on multiple current sensor for power converter/inverter project.

We also work on Multi-Channel readout ASIC for heart failure research with multiple parterns.

We work on GaN sensor IC
