Overview

The agileREF consists of a bandgap reference core together with a bandgap reference voltage generator (VREF), VREF replica current generators and bias current generators. The number of output bias currents can be specified up to a maximum of 16 configurable outputs. There is an integrated test bus.

Agile Analog designs are based on tried and tested architectures to ensure reliability and functionality. Our design methodology is programmatic, systematic and repeatable leading to analog IP that is more verifiable, more robust and more reliable. Our methodology also allows us to quickly re-target our IP to different process options. We support all the major foundries including TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Intel Foundry, Samsung Foundry, UMC and Other Foundries.

Overcoming power management IP challenges

With modern chips, power management sits right at the core of the architecture. Between scaling down to advanced nodes and pushing for maximum performance-per-watt, managing power has become one of the most complex, high-risk parts of silicon design. Here is what engineering teams are actually dealing with.

Understanding security certification and how analog IP can help

This Agile Analog blog post outlines the security certification process and the impact of implementing analog anti-tamper solutions. With new security measures such as the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) regulations becoming fully enforced in 2027, there is increasing interest in security certification and the analog IP that companies can use to detect and prevent security attacks.

Providing protection against EMFI attacks

This Agile Analog blog post is focused on describing the dangers of Electromagnetic Fault Injection (EMFI) attacks and outlining the importance of EMFI sensors that are designed to provide protection.
