Analog Master Slice
AN9D, AN9E, AN9F Series
Analog master slice IC series
■ Overview
The AN9D, AN9E and AN9F series are master slice ICs of bipolar process, which enables you to integrate an analog
circuit easily onto a single chip. A custom IC can be made by placing a wired pattern designed in line with the customer's
analog circuit onto a master slice.
Starting from a wafer on which a most part of IC diffusion processes are already finished, you can shorten an IC pilot
fabrication considerably. Further, placement of elements and inter-element wiring are done automatically by a computer, which results in short period of pattern designing and thereby developing a custom IC in a short period.
■ Features
• High design flexibility
• Easy circuit constant design because of setting resistance or capacitance to an arbitrary value.
• Free setting of contacts between a substrate and GND wiring prevents from operation error to be caused by floating
of substrate potential.
• Usable for multi power source because a resistor island potential can be set for each unit.
• Builds in a lateral type PNP transistor of high reverse breakdown voltage between base and emitter, or a collector
wall type NPN transistor of excellent saturation characteristics. (AN9DA00, AN9DB00, AN9DF00)
• Short development period
• Due to a full automatic layout design, a sample is available in one month from a completion of a circuit diagram.
• Applicable to a small quantity production item
• Possible to develop a custom IC for small quantity production due to a low development cost.
