Analog Bits

Mixed-signal IP for power management

Overview

Analog Bits provides mixed-signal IP (intellectual property) for intelligent energy and power management used in semiconductor chips. Its products include precision clocking macros (PLLs, oscillators), sensors to monitor temperature and voltage, and power-control blocks (like LDOs), plus integrated or separate bandgap and ADC IP. A key feature is the patented pinless/core-powered IP, which lets IP blocks be placed anywhere on a chip without external power pins while preserving analog performance, enabling easier, more reliable integration into SoCs across major foundries. The company has a 30+ year track record with silicon-proven IP across processes from 0.35 micron to 2nm and a broad portfolio designed to improve performance, cost, and reliability in applications ranging from consumer electronics and edge AI to automotive and aerospace. Its goal is to provide differentiated, easy-to-integrate IP that reduces risk and accelerates power and energy management in modern chips.

Analog Bits expands global engineering footprint with new design center in Dongtan, South Korea.

Analog Bits expands global engineering footprint with new design center in Dongtan, South Korea. July 15, 2026 - Strategic investment strengthens worldwide engineering capabilities and accelerates innovation to support growing need for smarter and more efficient analog and power solutions for advanced semiconductors. Sunnyvale, CA - Analog Bits (www.analogbits.com), the leading provider of low-power mixed-signal IP (intellectual property) solutions, has expanded its engineering capacity with a new design center in Dongtan, South Korea. This follows the expansion of the company's Prague design center in 2024, a continuation of the company's global growth strategy to provide highly experienced engineering design team support in key locations around the world to meet the growing need for smarter and more efficient analog and power solutions for the advanced semiconductor market. The Dongtan design center's proven team has experience down to 2nm technologies for AI and other applications and strengthens the company's ability to develop next-generation analog and mixed-signal IP while providing closer collaboration and support for customers across Asia and around the world. "This milestone of expansion is strategic for our future growth and commitments to our customers," said Mahesh Tirupattur, CEO at Analog Bits. "By expanding our global engineering organization with exceptional talent, we are increasing our capacity to innovate, accelerate product development, and deliver the high-quality IP solutions our customers depend on for their next generation AI, networking, automotive, industrial, and high-performance computing devices." Power is often the biggest challenge in system-on-chip (SoC) design today, a gating constraint within today's largest AI and HPC systems which operate at kilowatt-per-SoC and megawatt-per-rack power scales. This applies universally, from demand for compute in data centers and advanced driver assistance systems, to minimizing power consumption in IoT and wearable devices. A key part of addressing this challenge is to enable chip designs that intelligently manage power demands directly within an SoC, so that designers can continuously deliver on power targets while meeting the performance required of the end product. The industry consensus is that the winners of the AI chip era will be determined by power efficiency, thermal management, and signal integrity at high data rates - not raw compute density alone. According to Tirupattur, "Our mixed signal IP often sits at the intersection of all three, determining how efficiently power is delivered on chip, how accurately signals are timed, and how cleanly high-speed data moves through interconnects. This is where close collaboration with customers and foundries becomes critical, and our design centers in Prague, Czechia, and now Dongtan in South Korea, helps Analog Bits' position fulfil this commitment to our global customers and partners." Founded in 1995, Analog Bits, Inc. is the leading supplier of mixed-signal IP with a reputation for easy and reliable integration into advanced SOCs. Its products include precision clocking macros, sensors, programmable interconnect solutions such as multi-protocol SERDES and programmable I/Os. With billions of IP cores fabricated in customer silicon, from 0.35um to 2nm processes, Analog Bits has a strong track record of first-time-working silicon with foundries and integrated device manufacturers.

Analog Bits demonstrates real-time on-chip power sensing and delivery on TSMC N2P process at TSMC 2026 Technology Symposiums.

Analog Bits demonstrates real-time on-chip power sensing and delivery on TSMC N2P process at TSMC 2026 Technology Symposiums. April 15, 2026 - Analog Bits continues to develop innovative mixed signal IP in TSMC N2P process technology, with integrated LDOs, pinless remote PVT sensors, and microwatt class and high-performance LC PLLs. Sunnyvale, CA - Analog Bits (www.analogbits.com), developer of industry leading low-power mixed-signal IP (intellectual property) solutions for intelligent power and energy management, will showcase new integrated on-die LDOs with glitch catcher and droop detection, pinless PVT sensors, and low power PLLs that deliver comprehensive real-time power observability and sensing in TSMC's N2P process technology. * When: April 22, 2026 * Location: Santa Clara Convention Center, Booth #608 * Register: TSMC 2026 North America Technology Symposium Modern Megawatt AI and HPC systems using Multi Kilowatt SoC's face thermal, power efficiency, performance variability and reliability challenges that digital design alone cannot solve. Moore's law is no longer power friendly with transistor speeds going up and voltage levels not scaling down causing more power density challenges. Customers leverage advanced process and packaging energy-efficiency techniques along with architectural-level optimizations to achieve their power targets. The new IPs will provide significant advantages to customers seeking PPA optimization and intelligent on-chip power management for their advanced SoCs on TSMC N2P process technology. Mahesh Tirupattur, CEO of Analog Bits, commented, "Our integrated on-die LDO provide an exceptionally clean form of power delivery, coupled with the glitch catcher and droop detector features, making power observable in real-time and enabling fast corrective actions to be taken almost instantaneously." Also being featured for the first time are the highly accurate remote pinless PVT sensors with a +/-3.5C (untrimmed), and low power PLLs that feature microwatt class power levels at 0.5 micro-watt/MHz. Visit its booth and see a demo of over 12 IPs on the TSMC N2P test-chips. The company will also be participating at the TSMC Technology Symposiums in Taiwan, Europe, China, and Japan. Analog Bits, Inc. is the established supplier of an industry-leading portfolio of mixed-signal IP for intelligent energy and power management, with a reputation for easy and reliable integration into advanced SoCs. Its products include precision clocking macros, power and temperature sensors including LDO and regulators, programmable interconnect solutions such as multi-rate SERDES and programmable I/O's. With billions of IP cores fabricated in customer silicon, from 0.35 micron to 2nm processes, Analog Bits has an outstanding heritage of first-time-working IPs that lower risk.
