Multifractal Semiconductors SA (Pretoria, South Africa) is a fabless microelectronics company focused on providing silicon IP RF circuit blocks for the global telecommunications market.
The company provides silicon-proven analog IP as well as turnkey semiconductor development services with a primary focus on millimeter-wave and ultra-high bandwidth applications, such as future 5G telecommunication systems.
Circuit blocks already on offer include specialised front-end RF blocks such as tunable high-Q millimeter-wave resonators and bandpass filters and DSPs with multi-gigahertz bandwidths. Such bandwidth is roughly a factor of 10 greater than the previous state-of-the-art, the company claims. These circuits have been proven with on-chip RF measurements in commercial CMOS and silicon-germanium BiCMOS manufacturing processes, the company said.
