HV ASIC Design

HV ASICs / HV CMOS

DALSA offers industry-leading manufacturing capability and design support for high voltage CMOS ICs such as drivers for inkjet print heads, flat panel displays, LEDs and LCDs, micromirrors, and microfluidics. In fact, our custom HV design service can build complete application-specific solutions for you from the ground up with none of the compromises of off-the-shelf components.

MEMS integration with HV CMOS and CMOS

Many MEMS applications require high voltage actuation with low voltage control circuitry. DALSA Semiconductor can provide this capability as a stand-alone ASIC, a MEMs + ASIC assembly using wafer-level packaging, or as a fully integrated process combining both on the same wafer.
 

High Voltage ASIC Design Services

When performance is critical, there is no substitute for a purpose-built solution. Many MEMS require a high voltage driver IC, and DALSA’s high voltage ASIC design service gives you the benefit of all our experience with both HV and MEMS to deliver solutions with the precise specifications you need. DALSA offers industry-leading manufacturing capabilities and design services for high voltage CMOS ICs such as drivers for inkjet print heads, flat panel displays, LEDs and LCDs, micromirrors, and microfluidics. We can build complete application-specific solutions for you from the ground up with none of the compromises of off-the-shelf components.

Take advantage of our 10+ years of HV technology expertise and our specialized IP library. From your requirements, we will create a custom, purpose-built solution with optimal, differentiating performance for true competitive advantage. With our unique combination of technology portfolio, dedicated design staff, and experience integrating of control logic with high voltage actuators, we can minimize design iterations and development time, ensuring your concept meets specifications while maximizing the product yield and smoothing the transition to high volume production. Our advanced design, verification, test, and packaging capabilities can bring your visions to reality more easily than you ever imagined.

Shuttle Runs

DALSA Semiconductor, in conjunction with CMC Microsystems, operates a 0.8µm "shuttle run," providing regularly scheduled fabrication of multi-project wafers. With this service, designers can "share" wafer runs, conducting low-volume experiments with different designs on a portion of a wafer without the cost of a full wafer run. Visit the Shuttle Run page for details.
