Accent's technology portfolio and TurnkeyPLUS capabilities applies to a broad breadth of markets that is categorized as: Wireless M2M, Wireless Sensor Networks, and RFID. The wireless sensor market encompasses a number of applications: personal healthcare, industrial control, automotive control, lighting, etc. Product requirements vary. For example, different wireless technologies may be used which operate on different frequency bands and providing different bandwidth capabilities. Two popular radio technologies are ISM and UWB:
- Industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM): 433 MHz, 868 MHz, 915 MHz, 2.4 GHz,., low data rates
- Ultra-wide band(UWB): 3.1 to 10.6 GHz, medium to high data rates
Common product requirements, however, are lowest power and cost, which at the semiconductor level translates to integration of challenging technologies (wireless, analog mixed-signal) as well as packaging expertise to support system-in-package solutions.
In addition to our BASEsoc Platforms and ASMgrid offering, Accent technology solutions and expertise includes:
- Flexible MEMS (Accelerometer) I/F Flexible to different MEMS sensors
- Single package stacked-die configuration for MEMS sensors and readout electronics
- Ultra Low Power (<1.5 mW for Sensor Node) Asymmetric Radio Link solutions
- Including: field-proven UWB transmitter and ISM receiver system
- Solutions implemented in 90nm /130nm/180nm and designed for portability to different target technologies
With over 300 successful customer designs to date and tens of millions of parts successfully shipped to market, Accent works hand-in-hand with customers to address their product and production needs.
