Presto Engineering’s successful ASIC solutions are fueled by proven silicon circuit blocks and intellectual property (IP). Presto owns two sets of silicon IP known as Foundation IP, and Platform IP functional blocks. These IP blocks are uniquely designed and validated for exclusive ASIC projects to meet extreme specificity and performance trade-offs. Presto’s IP enables customers to dramatically reduce the risk of their ASIC concept while also leveraging Presto’s portfolio to reduce cost and speed up time to market.
Presto’s Foundation IP regroups key featured circuit blocks from high accuracy sensors such as temperature sensor, optical array sensors, as well as digital controllers and LVDS IOs. It can also be used with secure encryption blocks such as ultra-low power AES/3DES coupled or not with specific analog front end relying on analog to digital converter macros.
Presto’s Platform IPs enable an extreme level of customization from functionality to power optimization, regrouping application specific analog front-end such as:
High dynamic optical front-end
Ultra-low power motion ISP and MCU
RFID/NFC/UHF/ISM connectivity
Energy management & harvesting
