ASICs for IoT and Sensor connectivity

 

IoT-and-Sensor-connectivity

 

The Presto low-power IOT chip design services blend the digital and physical worlds by incorporating our rich expertise in sensor technology, wireless communication (RF), and low-power processing.

Data acquisition

Gathering real-time data from the physical world is an essential component of IoT applications to improve processes and enable smarter, more informed decisions. Data capture and data management, therefore, are amongst the key challenges of smart, connected IoT applications.

The Presto IoT ASIC design combines smart sensor technology for the autonomous collection of environmental data such as temperature, shock, acceleration, humidity, or pressure. Combining standard CMOS technology and optical filters, our custom ASIC design services offers capabilities like light detection and color measurement for various industrial and process control applications.

 

We determine the optimal partitioning for on-chip/off-chip components, including sensor size, analogue amplifiers, and digital control/communication, to minimize price, size, and power consumption.

Wireless communication

In the past, RFID was used as an electronic barcode for identification. Today, RFID technology can be used with or without battery (active or passive) as active transmitters to capture and relay information generated by intelligent sensor systems.

 

An example of our wireless communication capabilities is THOR, an NFC/Multiprotocol ASIC design, which performs temperature measurements and stores results with a configurable time interval. THOR can be powered actively with a battery or passively by harvesting energy from an NFC field.

Power efficiency

With IoT sensor devices, the energy source typically presents challenges related to cost, installation, service/maintenance, and user experience. Presto offers battery-less data transmission capabilities using various methods, including carrier frequency and energy harvesting. Powered exclusively by harvested energy from heat or indoor light, IoT devices are self-powered eliminating the need for batteries and their replacement.

Chip

The RFID toolbox Thor has a resolution we have not been able to find elsewhere in the market.


We have compared different solutions for intelligent tags and found Presto’s solution to be easy to work with. We have even been able to change the firmware ourselves.
