ELXYS innovations founded by senior RFIC designers, incorporates all the ingredients needed for a successful integration of the most demanding wireless systems. ELXYS basic assets are the strong engineering team, the broad range of skills and capabilities, the experience, and the valuable IP portfolio.

Specialties

ELXYS specializes in analog, RF, mmWave and mixed signal integrated circuit design spanning from baseband to 77 GHz. The team is capable of delivering high-performance integrated transceiver solutions for many different telecommunication standards including WLAN, WiMAX, DVBH, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA, P2P BackHaul, WPAN, in CMOS and SiGe processes. The target is always the quality and the reliability of the IC. Our results are proven with multiple first-pass successes, patents, and publications. The team exhibits a strong CAD/programming background making chip verification, database management and design flow most efficient and flexible to adapt to any project needs.

E-Band project

ELXYS the past two years gained a significant experience in the area of silicon integrated microwave radios for infrastructure networks. Taking advantage of this experience ELXYS has started an internal development project targeting a low cost solution for next generation radios operating at the E-Band. ELXYS ELX7080 chipset targets to ease the design and lower the cost of radio design at mm-Wave frequencies.

The ELX7080 chipset is a complete analog radio front end designed for ultra-wide broadband communication equipment used in mobile backhauls, business networks, IP networks and emergency recovery networks. The operating frequencies cover the FCC/ETSI licensed bands 71-76 / 81-86 GHz band.

The chipset consists of two chips, one chip serves as the transmitter and the other as a receiver. This partition favors radio system designers since the same chipset will be able to be used in TDD and FDD systems. The chipset supports also channel aggregation and bonding and channel pairing can be easily done since the RX and the TX chips are dual band. In applications where channel aggregation is needed, multiple chips can be easily combined in a daisy chain configuration to ensure coherency on different channels. Internal variable frequency cutoff low pass filters may be bypassed for applications which require higher than 1GHz channel bandwidth.

Mixed Signal

There is no modern radio without a DSP or control block in it. Utilizing the state of the art synthesis, P&R tools in ELXYS we have the capability to deliver complicated radios with digital interfaces, calibration algorithms and dsp functions.

Design Services for mm-Wave ICs

Traditional microwave radio systems based on GaAs are migrating to SiGe to take advantage of higher yield, higher integration and lower cost. SiGe HBTs have shown noise and power-consumption characteristics comparable or superior to those of GaAs at a much lower cost. SiGe can be manufactured in wafer sizes as large as 200 mm to maximize production efficiency.

Apart from the cost aspect, the option to have highly integrated circuits, including CMOS logic, is an important aspect of the SiGe-BiCMOS technology. DSP and control functions can be easily co-integrated with the RF front-end allowing the modem to gain full control of the radio. Many scenarios of operation can be supported without the need of external DACs and microprocessors.

Market reports reveal a continuously increasing demand of high quality Microwave radios to support high throughput fixed wireless services. With almost the entire frequency spectrum available, from sub-6GHz up to 90GHz bands, the number of radio configurations is a real challenge for the radio providers. Silicon integration (Si RFIC) is a one way road, to put in order all the radio products, increase the yield, minimize the cost and lower the logistics.

ELXYS has the design flow and the skills to integrate your discrete component radio into a single SiGe or CMOS chip.

EDA

In ELXYS we use state of the art tools for system and circuits escription, design, simulation and verification. Our CAD experience enables the integration of tools of different vendors into the design flow. Custom and proprietary software utilities minimize time consuming tasks and verification risks.

Back End

In modern transceivers projects, layout and backannotation is a challenging procedure. The correct selection of the extraction tools is one of the most critical factors which affect the project success. Verification of the mask layout versus fab rules and initial schematics is the key for a successful project and a first pass-success. ELXYS proprietary design flow eases the verification procedure and minimizes the risk of failure.
