AMx™ technology - an overview

AMx™ = Advanced Mixed Signal Silicon Devices A proprietary, patented, system-on-chip (SOC) signal processing technology:

Key features:

• dynamically reconfigurable mixed-signal (analogue / digital) architecture
• analogue elements (“subroutines”) embedded in a digital fabric
• analogue CMOS elements operated in sub-threshold mode digital control, tuning and compensation functions
• dynamically programmable power / resolution trade-off options

Principle benefits:

• Ultra low power - orders of magnitude lower power
• Dramatic reduction in battery size for portable devices
• Dramatic reduction in peak current allows new types of ultra small form factor/ thin flexible batteries to be used
• Months or years operational life from single battery
• Real time processing. Results independent of clock speed
• Greater efficiency, reduced complexity and reduced silicon area for many applications
• Lower cost

AMx™ provides unique advantages in wide range of applications in consumer, healthcare, utilities, defence, aerospace and automotive markets.
