Driving efficiency with custom IC design
Swindon Silicon Systems to demonstrate ASIC solutions for more sustainable manufacturing at electronica 2024 ~
To help streamline industrial processes, ASIC design and supply specialist Swindon Silicon Systems will be offering its expertise at electronica 2024, taking place from 12 to 15 November at the Messe München Trade Fair Center in Munich, Germany. At the event, Swindon will demonstrate how application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) can optimise efficiency and offer a competitive edge to sensor-based industrial systems.
With over 2,800 exhibitors and 70,000 visitors, electronica is the world’s leading trade fair for electronics, showcasing the industry’s latest technologies, products and solutions. This year, the event takes sustainability as a key theme, with a focus on creating an ‘all electric society’ that marks a shift towards a greener, data-driven world.
Industrial control systems are critical for saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. High-level plant monitoring allows manufacturers to identify energy inefficiencies and improve industrial processes, but obtaining this level of insight relies on intelligent sensor technology. Since sensor interfaces often need to perform both analogue and digital processing, custom mixed-signal ASICs are the solution.
Integrating analogue and digital circuits into one chip reduces power consumption because fewer external components are required. In addition, a mixed-signal ASIC that has been specifically designed for its application will be able to function better than a standardised component. With decades of experience in designing and engineering mixed-signal ASICs for sensing applications, Swindon will be providing expert guidance and support to visitors looking to optimise their sensor application with custom mixed-signal technology.
“Though many manufacturers are keen to enhance their processes, many think custom equates to more work. However, this does not ring true. At Swindon, we provide a full turnkey service (FTK), with a team of consultant, design and layout engineers who support each individual stage of the project, from the initial idea to the desired end product,” explained Ross Turnbull, Director of Business Development and Product Engineering at Swindon Silicon Systems.
“Our team of experts have been working with leading global companies in factory automation and industrial control for years to develop custom ASIC solutions that optimise efficiency and performance. At electronica 2024, we will harness this experience to provide visitors with specialist guidance on how they can unlock more sustainable, efficient manufacturing processes with tailor-made ASICs.”
