Technology

Entropic's product platforms are systems solutions comprised of silicon ICs and the associated software to enable delivery of multiple streams of HD video and other multimedia content into and throughout the home. Our complex solutions leverage Entropic's core competencies to solve networking and other communication technology challenges.

• Video communications, networking algorithms and protocols. Entropic has extensive expertise in defining and developing PHY and MAC protocols as well as networking, routing and security protocols. This includes expertise in advanced equalization, modulation and coding techniques and contention-free MAC protocols required for high QoS video delivery.
• SoC design, mixed signal and embedded software capabilities. Our ability to integrate multiple complex functions into a single silicon solution is a result of our significant experience in many disciplines, including embedded system architecture, high-speed very large-scale integration, or VLSI, design, microcontrollers, embedded software, packet processing, and high performance mixed signal design. Our mixed signal design expertise includes designing high performance analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. Entropic also has in-depth experience in packaging design and automated high-volume test development, which allows us to develop cost-effective solutions.
• RF integrated circuit design expertise. Entropic has extensive experience developing highly-integrated RF ICs. Our broad RF systems and design capability allow us to provide solutions that seamlessly integrate RF functionality within a digital communications platform. Our team has extensive experience with the complex task of integrating digital high-speed mixed signal and RF IC designs into complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, SoCs.
• Comprehensive communications and RF system-level capabilities. Entropic's systems-level knowledge is the result of significant experience supplying solutions for service provider networks and includes an understanding of the critical elements in coax and satellite networks, such as service provider equipment and other devices both inside and outside the home.
• Domain expertise in operator-based deployments. We have close working relationships with service providers and their ODM and OEM partners. Our extensive experience with service provider deployments allows us to deliver rapid time-to-market solutions over multiple generations of CPE and access equipment.
