low-power mixed-signal IC design

 

Testimonials

Louis Parks, CEO

When SecureRF introduced the Algebraic
Eraser TM to RFID we were looking to combine the world's most efficient public-key cryptosystem with the world's most energy-sensitive platform.
Silicon success depended upon the design team developing an architecture that leveraged the inherent efficiency of our braid group operators to make the circuit fast, small and secure.


The TopoLogic team had the rare insight to understand our hard mathematics and rapidly designed the logic and VLSI circuits that
met all of our operational requirements and produced the first generation of the securest RFID tag available today.

Warren East, CEO of processor IP licensor ARM Holdings plc, has said he expects companies making processors based on the ARM cores will take between 10 and 20 percent of the notebook PC market in 2014 or 2015, according to a Dow Jones report. That would be much higher penetration than Intel would make into the smartphone market, the report also quoted East saying.
