CAD Centre
CAD Engineering Centre (CAD SEC) provides a full life cycle of the
development of microelectronic equipment and element components through
automated hardware and software.
CAD tools are used in the creation of advanced types of equipment as
well as for the development of very-large-scale integration circuits (or specialised
integrated circuits ASIC), in particular, System on a Chip (SoC), the complexity of
which reaches several million gates. CAD SEC makes it possible to design
integrated circuits with technological standards of up to 0.04 microns.

And other.
The Institute develops the whole design cycle:
from system-level to layout. Our expertise allows us to join the
customer’s project at any stage of the design route.
As for contract design, the design centre
accepts orders in the following principal
areas:
• SoC development;
• Analogue microcircuit development;
• Analogue and digital IP block design, including embedded ADC,
DAC, PLL, microprocessor cores, hardware calculators and various
interfaces;
• Standard cell, memory and PDK library design;
• Back-end design;
• Development of IP block prototype on PLDs;
• Element component upgrade for production equipment.
ASIC
Most of the developed ASIC and IP are highly specialized integrated
circuits that have been developed for customers’ specific technical tasks
or within the framework of government programmes for specific
equipment and are supplied in accordance with contract obligations to
Customers only.
RF microwave circuits & IPs by SiGe technology:
• modulators and demodulators,
• RF receiver paths,
• L & C-band attenuators, phase shifters, frequency synthesizers,
balanced mixers, low noise amplifiers
Digital ASICs & IPs:
• SoC for Fibre Channel,
• SoC for satellite navigation,
• Convolution coders and decoders,
• Special ASICs for digital radars
The microelectronic equipment
Development of microelectronic devices is another field of activity of the
Institute.
In the development of microelectronic equipment we necessarily use
ASIC chips developed at the Institute, including ASIC SoC and SIP.
We also use proprietary algorithms and software and hardware solutions
to minimize the signal processing time and provide the best massdimensional and energy parameters.
Such an approach makes our devices competitive in the following areas:
• Radiolocation
• Satellite navigation
• Telecommunications
• Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA), etc.
Here are some of our projects.
Generations of GLONASS/GPS receivers
from 2000 to 2014
Unified navigation and communications module
Fields of application: security functions, vehicle monitoring, automatic
emergency call to rescue services in case of accident, automatic payment for
toll roads, recording information from various sensors installed in the vehicle.
The Platform, a uniform small receive-transmit navigation and
communications module, ensures compliance with the mandatory technical
requirements to the ERA - GLONASS terminals.
This microchip is designed to compress FM and chirp signals.
The main principle is the convolution of the input and reference signals with the capacity
of up to 14 input signals.
Previously radars used a signal compression unit based on the 4x4 matrix of 1846ПФ1T
chips (see photo below).
Next to it is the 1909ФП1F chip, fully replacing the compression unit of 1846ПФ1T chips
and superior to this unit:
• in radar signal compression ratio: 32 times;
• in performance at comparable power consumption: 288 times.
Set of unified modules for critical power
management systems
The set of unified modules for critical power management systems is
designed for guaranteed power supply systems of aircraft engines, electric
motors for oil, gas, and chemical product pumping and other systems of
critical use.
The set consists of:
• DC-DC conversion unified module;
• Unified module of power supply control and management.
