Sound Design Technologies (SDT) operates a silicon foundry / wafer fabrication plant producing analog products for specialty applications. For over 30 years in Burlington, Ontario, Canada , SDT (and it's progenitor Gennum Corporation) have developed and manufactured a suite of specialized analog silicon processes/products for niche market applications, both merchant and captive. Current and potential technology applications include:
Ultra low-noise, low power audio amplifiers, filters, and compressors for hearing aids, electronic stethoscopes, audio headsets, ear protectors, etc
Video equalizers, serializers, reclockers, switchers
LED segment display drivers
Automotive motor, headlight controllers
Power supply controllers
Available silicon processes include:
BiFET - Low noise / low power bipolar with JFET (1V, 350Mhz)
SAP - High-voltage bipolar (30V, 250MHz), industrial temp range
LSI/DLI - Bipolar (12V, 2.3GHz) with double-layer interconnect
HSB - High-speed bipolar (5.5V, 10GHz) suitable for video applications
