company
Elonics Ltd. is a fabless mixed-signal semiconductor company specialising in the design and development of multi-band radio frequency (RF) IC products. Founded in 2003 and based in Livingston, United Kingdom, Elonics has developed an innovative radio frequency architecture called DigitalTune™ that is the foundation for a family of re-configurable CMOS RF front end products.
Elonics innovative technology allows manufacturers to design high performance multi-band radio transceivers with unrivalled power consumption and low system cost. Elonics products are targeted at high volume portable consumer electronics applications that require wireless multi-media connectivity where size, performance, price and power consumption are paramount.
Elonics’ first product family is the E4000 series of silicon tuner solutions targeted at the reception of multi-standard digital TV and radio including DVB-T, ISDB-T, T-DMB, DVB-H, ISDB-H, DMB-T, DAB and FM radio.
Elonics has an engineering team with unprecedented in-depth knowledge of RF IC design. Elonics is one of the first companies in Europe to use IBM’s 90nm CMOS for radio frequency (RF) products, and the RF IC design techniques are supported by a pipeline of world leading patents.
Extensive experience in RF systems engineering and mixed-signal design enable Elonics to provide customers with a one-stop resource for IC support and systems applications help. Elonics supports its customers worldwide through a network of agents and distributors, development partnerships and direct sales.
Elonics secured £2M ($4M) Series A funding in February 2008. Key investors include Braveheart Investment Group, Scottish Venture Fund and a number of private investors including Brian Souter and Sir Tom Farmer.
