Mixellume — Custom silicon & system architecture

The instrument defines
the requirement.
The chip solves it.

Mixellume's semiconductor engineering core was built to make precision instruments better than off-the-shelf components allow. That same depth is now available as a custom silicon programme. The instrument acts as the specification. The chip is the answer — tighter, faster, more confident, and purpose-built for the environment it operates in.

From instrument spec
to validated silicon.

Mixellume controls the full development chain — from system requirements through analog front-end, digital core, embedded AI, and silicon characterization. The instrument is the customer. The chip is the answer.

Layer 1 — System
Precision Instrument Requirement
Defines noise floor, accuracy, speed, power envelope, and environmental constraints. Becomes the silicon specification.
Layer 2 — Silicon
Custom ASIC +
Graph Embedded AI
Analog front-end and digital core co-designed for the specific measurement environment. Hardware-level AI inference integrated at the silicon layer. RF to 50 GHz, 22–350 nm.
Layer 3 — Outcome
Instrument-Grade
Silicon Outcome
Tighter noise. Lower power. Smaller form factor. Confidence built into the hardware — before the data leaves the chip.
Graph Embedded AI — differentiator
Inference at the silicon level — not in the cloud.

Standard chips process signals. Custom silicon with embedded graph inference interprets them. Mixellume integrates AI inference directly into the hardware architecture — so the instrument makes better decisions before the data leaves the chip. Signal classification, anomaly detection, and adaptive compensation happen in hardware, at measurement speed, with deterministic latency.

A standard component was designed for everyone. A custom chip is designed for one problem — yours.

Silicon capabilities

Full-stack semiconductor
engineering depth.

From analog schematic to RTL-to-GDSII delivery — Mixellume covers the complete semiconductor development stack in-house. The same team that designs for precision instruments applies that rigor to custom silicon programmes for external system integrators and OEM partners.

Analog Front-End Design

RF, baseband, PMU, clocking, AD/DA, and RFID circuit design. 38 schematic engineers, 477 engineer-years. DC to 50 GHz.

Analog Layout — Precision Implementation

Matching, parasitics, and manufacturability focus. 13 layout engineers, 317 engineer-years. 28–350 nm. Full-block coverage from RF to RFID.

Digital Design — RTL to GDSII

Synthesis, placement, routing, DFT, verification. Cadence, Synopsys, and Siemens flows. Physical signoff with Calibre and PVS.

Graph Embedded AI Integration

Hardware-level AI inference integrated into custom digital cores. Enables signal classification, anomaly detection, and adaptive compensation at silicon speed.

Phased-Array IC Design

Active phased-array antenna IC architecture. Spatial filtering, null-steering, and beamforming — implemented at the silicon level for deterministic performance.

Silicon Characterization & Validation

Functional and parametric validation across full operating range. Semi-automatic measurement systems, golden sample tracking, mass-production sorting, and root-cause analysis.

Signal resilience

Built to perform where
standard solutions fail.

Mixellume architectures include hardware-level interference compensation and signal integrity mechanisms. GNSS, navigation, and mission-critical RF systems operate where jamming, spoofing, and multipath are not edge cases — they are the operating specification.

Phased-Array & CRPA/DRPA Architecture

Adaptive antenna design for controlled spatial filtering and null-steering. Hardware implementation of beamforming and interference rejection.

Anti-Jamming Hardware Acceleration

Interference suppression at the silicon level — not in post-processing. Real-time, deterministic response with no software latency overhead.

Anti-Spoofing Mechanisms

Hardware-level signal authentication and anomaly detection built into the receiver architecture. Protection without performance compromise.

Extreme SWaP Reduction

Custom silicon achieves performance targets at a fraction of the size, weight, and power of SDR-based platforms. Architecture-first approach to power efficiency.

Engineering depth

The team behind
the silicon.

The same engineering team that validates Series 65 instrumentation delivers end-to-end custom silicon — from system architecture and analog front-end through RTL, digital backend, and production characterization. No subcontracting the hard parts.
