NTLab was founded in 1989 as a private fabless microelectronic company. It started as a team of about 15 skilled designers whose total experience in IC design at that time was over 250 years. We began with processor architectures research and RISC microcontrollers design. In late 90th, the first microcontroller with on-chip RF transmitter was designed for industrial and commercial applications. In the beginning of 2000th, design areas were extended to automotive applications, ISM transceivers, FM radio, audiochips and others. Today, NTLab is a group of companies involved in research and design of ASICs, modules and systems for various applications.
We design ASICs, modules and portable systems for such areas as:
Radio frequency identification (RF ID)
ASICs for biometric passports
RFID tags chips for 13.56 МHz and 900 МHz applications
NFC ASIC
Digital TV
ASICs for DVB-T/H/S receivers
TV reception units for portable applications
FM Radio
Analog and digital single-chip receivers
Communication systems
Analog and digital transceiver ASICs for 27 MHz to 3 GHz frequency range
Automotive electronics
ASICs for automotive applications
Tachometer with integrated navigation receiver
GPS/GLONASS+DTV combined receiver board
NTLab can design a wide range of ICs:
- by signal: digital, analog (including RF) and mixed-signal;
- by technology nodes: CMOS 28…180 nm, RF CMOS 65…180 nm, SiGe BiCMOS 130…350 nm;
- by structure: from simple devices to Systems-on-Chip;
- by application: from general-purpose ICs to ASSPs and ASICs;
- by frequencies: up to 80 GHz.
We offer full list of IC design services:
IC specifications development and verification on computer models;
FPGA prototyping for digital circuits before tape-out;
Technology and foundry selection;
IC schematic and layout design;
IC sampling and prototyping organization;
RF, analog and mixed-signal IC testing;
Mass production organization and support.
Our company organizes and controls all chip manufacturing stages: die production, packaging and testing, packing and delivery. The possibility of single source service is highly appreciated by our customers.
As a base for many new custom designs, we use our own library of IP blocks - digital, analog, mixed-signal and RF, such as:
8-, 16-, 32-bit processor cores
memory blocks
interfaces
analog and RF blocks, and more.
We provide full support of designed ICs by development tools (evaluation boards, software development tools, reference OS, GUI to control and setup our analog chips, etc.)
