Function Modules

Analog Front-Ends

By integrating our expertise in circuit design from high-precision measurement with High-reliability packaging technology, we deliver high-performance functional devices. Our capabilities include the modularization of sophisticated circuits (filters, amplifiers, oscillators, phase detectors, etc.). We support our clients through a seamless end-end system from design to mass production. We offer a wide range of standard products as well as fully customized products tailored to specific requirements.

Optimizing analog signal processing before the ADC is critical for system performance. We offer Analog Front Ends that integrate signal conditioning functions like amplification and filtering.
