IPs & Interfaces

 

 

Kapik offers a variety of high performance IPs and interfaces in the mixed-signal space.

Unlike our competitors, Kapik takes an approach to IPs and interfaces that cuts across boundaries. For customers, this means one design partner capable of delivering blocks with analog interface, digital processing and software control. Our areas of expertise include:

IPs

Kapik has developed several IPs -- complete chip developments as well as supporting building blocks for larger interfaces. As a result our IP blocks have target applications spanning multiple applications and markets. Examples include:

Our IPs come with supporting documentation, and where available, .GDS databases. Kapik IPs can be customized and ported to a process of your choice.

Licensing model

Kapik employs a flexible licensing model - we can establish upfront fixed license fees or share in your success (via royalties) or work together on a custom arrangement.
