At the heart of our innovative silicon proven LiquidIP technology is a system level approach to IC design. Instead of assembling ICs from a grouping of independent IP solutions, Rapid Bridge has developed a system of interdependent IP solutions that provides industry-leading performance with the lowest IC implementation risks. The combination of silicon proven Liquid IP building blocks coupled with an automated floor-planning tool yields a powerful design system where solution can be developed in metal (only) layers to create a System on Chip (SoC) solution within industry EDA tool flows.

LiquidIO™

LiquidIO supports over 40 industry standard interfaces with one common base IO cell. Each IO base cell is configured to one of the more than 40+ interface standards with a copper overlay cell, creating a truly flexible interface. LiquidIO and LiquidMXS solutions are controlled by a Central Calibration Unit that regulates voltage, current and impedances to improve signal quality and to reduce power/ground resources for ESD, Latchup and SSO

LiquidMXS™

Mixed Signal solutions (PLLs, DLLs, Voltage Regulators, etc) with a common base footprint that can that can be copper configured to over 20+ mixed signal functions. LiquidMXS instances can reside in the IO Ring or the Core area.

LiquidPHY™

LiquidPHY offers complete PHY (DDR 2/3, RLDRAM2, GDDR, USB2.0, XGMII, SGMII, etc) solutions fully contained and embedded entirely within the IO ring for effortless and lower risk implementation. Embedding the PHY eliminates the need to fix the placement of IO & PHY until the late stages of the design implementation phase

LiquidCell™

LiquidCell comprise of an 700+ element standard cell library utilizing a Sea of Transistors array that is programmed with metal only (metal 1-3) logic cells utilizing industry standard EDA tools and flows.

LiquidMemory™

LiquidMemory solution is a multi port Register File compiler targeted for memory instances up to 8K bits. As with our LiquidCell offering, LiquidMemory Register Files are copper overlays that can be placed anywhere within the Sea of Transistor array. With proper muxing of address and data lines, memory solutions up to 32k bits are achievable.

LiquidSerDes™

LiquidSerDes is a comprehensive Serial Link solution that is register programmable to address multiple standards and configurations. Each LiquidSerDes instance can be register configured to PCIe, SATA, Serial RapidIO, XAUI, CEI-6, Interlaken, Infiniband or Firbre channel interface standard. LiquidSerDes is composed of a Physical Layer (PHY) - SerDes, CDR, PLL, Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS) and all the associated test features

IQ Analog is a next generation fabless semiconductor company providing superior mixed-signal data converter technology for RF systems. IQ-Analog's Analog to Digital Converters (ADC’s) and Analog Front End’s (AFE’s) enable significant performance enhancements and cost reductions for Systems-on-Chip (SoC) solutions in the cellular / WiMax base station transceiver, Digital Video Broadband, Digital Imaging, and high fidelity audio systems markets. IQ-analog founded in 2005 by industry veterans, who previously held managerial and technical leadership roles at Broadcom, Conexant, Brooktree, TRW LSI, Entropic, Innovent, and RFMD. IQ-Analog is a privately held company headquartered in San Diego, CA.

Mission and Vision

IQ-analog mission is to provide disruptive new levels of performance, size and power efficiency for RF systems through their proprietary adaptive calibration techniques. IQ-Analog technology is a critical enabler for applications where manufacturing costs, physical dimension, battery life, and greater signal resolution are competitive differentiators. As foundries continue to condense digital dimensions, the resulting consequence is that analog functions remain the bottleneck for interfacing to the connectivity points (cable, antenna, etc.). To address these challenges, IQ-Analog leverage innovative approaches in digital calibration to correct for analog component deficiencies. The result of IQ-Analog efforts? ADC’s and AFE’s which are up to 10x smaller in die size and require 10x less power than comparable converter technology from established providers
