Abreakthrough in Analog / Mixed Signal / RF design

Over the last thirty years, Digital Design has gone through several productivity revolutions that have allowed for always smaller, less power hungry, more performant, more versatile and yet more affordable products.

Meanwhile, Analog Design has been stuck with tools and design flows from another time which make the process very tedious, error prone and overall time consuming.

BebCom has come up with a new way to bridge that productivity gap by combining scientific algorithms along with its analog design expertise. Our software allows a productivity breakthrough in analog/RF design, testing and characterization.

Meet Claudia and revolutionize the way you design Analog/RF, whether at system/schematic level or post-layout. She will manage your simulation and look over their results for you, fine tune your design parameters all that while you sleep. Take her help and reclaim More Time for Better Designs.

Claudia was designed by analog/RF designers for analog/RF designers. She comes along with:

     Aladdin     a virtual verification agent that helps you to manage a good test plan and environment depending on all the variables and the conditions. Evaluates the time of simulation needed and avoid costly mistakes such as saturation and breakdown voltage. It helps you to cover all the specifications thanks to the dedicated simulation.

Lighthouse a smart real-time-controller that launches and constantly monitors all the required simulations. Because Claudia understands your intents and the design conditions, she can decide early-on to stop simulations that do not converge and automatically move on to the next relevant job. Claudia notifies you upon final completion even when you are away from your desk. It is possible to detect the errors, warnings and special key-words in the Log files to warn the designer.

  Sherlock   an interactive environment to debug and fine-tune your schematics. Claudia understands where errors happen , display curves and values, and pinpoints the error in the Schematic so you can fine-tune the design.

    Scribe     your personal documentalist that reports in an easy-toread way the latest status of all your block simulations (PVT, Monte Carlo, with expandable views of all your results (gains, loss, noise…) the final documentation of your circuit (block pinout, values, variable Specifications, revision history of the design, Results simulations history, coverage, final datasheet…)

Status Quo your 24/7 assistant that reports the state of the overall project and estimated completion schedule based on the current coverage and simulation still needed.

Mems and Sensors

Accelerometers, MEMS electronics, Energy Harvesting:  we transform advanced MEMS innovation into exciting products that sense better, provide better performance and generate free energy for your electronics.  

ENERGY HARVESTING

BebCom Technology MEMS’s team is investigating new Vibration Energy-Harvesting techniques for autonomous sensor nodes such in TPMS applications. These techniques are based on piezoelectric and electrostatic transduction mechanisms. Microenergy generation can be achieved within an automobile's tire, stored into supercapacitor, and then used to power a MEMS based pressure sensor and transceiver.

RF MEMS

The same team is also focusing on CMOS-MEMS integration designs for RF applications. This kind of MEMS designs are developed to maximize integration without losing the device performances when compared to classical MEMS microfabrication techniques. Micro-switches, micro-filters and other components are used in this case to increase RF performances and reduce power consumption.

SENSORS - ACTUATORS

The development of micro-machining technology enable the miniaturization of a large number of sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes ... These micro-sensors may be integrated on the same chip as their conditioning electronics, which reduce the cost and the power consumption and enhance the whole system performances. Our MEMS team is working on  new CMOS infrared sensors for contactless temperature and pressure measurement.
