Introduction
This project consisted of a Microcontroller with embedded firmware used to control an optical transceiver and several Microwave driver and amplifier ICs. The customer was a semiconductor IC manufacturer.
Customer Objectives
- Capability to switch AC voltages >600 Volts to a set of loads
- IC development completion in < 9 months
- 10 Loads
- Analog to digital conversion immune to system noise
- Digital control interface
- Control the power delivered to the loads
- Minimal chip size
Results
A digital control system and transceiver control firmware embedded in a Microcontroller were produced and delivered to a customer. Circuits with Microwave drivers and amplifiers were implemented. Customer used the solution to deliver 45 different SKUs of reference designs customized to the requirements of numerous network companies.
