Radar System
ASIC Success Story
Application
This ASIC was developed in partnership with a leading defense supplier.
The chip goes into radar systems used to locate firing from mortars, artillery, rocket launchers, and missiles.
Custom Solution from CSS
This ASIC is primarily an industrial grade, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter. It provides an output current that ranges from approximately 0mA to 2mA. It is fabricated in an advanced, high voltage BiCMOS process, allowing operation from ±5V to ±18V.
The output current has excellent linearity over temperature and is guaranteed monotonic. This device includes a matched feedback resistor for voltage applications. A full-scale adjustment and a bipolar offset are also provided.
