Technology Overview

High-speed analog components perform critical functions in a wide range of communications, computing and instrumentation systems. Design of these components becomes progressively difficult as demand for speed and bandwidth increases. Inphi has developed a proprietary design methodology to yield best-in-class products that extract the maximum performance from a given semiconductor process technology, whether InP or GaAs, SiGe or CMOS.

Drawing on these unique analog design skills, Inphi delivers fundamental IC building blocks with the highest signal integrity, lowest power dissipation and smallest form factor available today for high-frequency systems. Precision ICs from Inphi boast low jitter, fast rise times, high linearity and low phase noise.

Interconnecting high-speed analog components without loss of performance represents an engineering challenge as well as a manufacturing expense. To maintain performance levels and reduce overall system cost, Inphi integrates as much high-speed analog circuitry in its products as technically feasible. Inphi’s process, design and packaging innovations are combined to produce highly integrated IC solutions for a variety of applications, from optical networking to digital instrumentation to microwave communications.

Inphi’s experienced technical team works closely with customers in each of these markets to define the most desirable and cost-competitive IC solutions. The team then pushes the boundaries of existing technologies to provide customers with significant competitive advantages and pave the way for new applications.
