Agile Analog on Silicon Hub: Redefining the Future of Analog IP

In the fast-moving world of semiconductor design, the spotlight often shines on digital innovation. Yet, analog IP remains a critical foundation—bridging the physical and digital worlds, enabling sensing, power management, connectivity, and security. Agile Analog has emerged as a pioneer in this space, offering configurable, digitally wrapped, and highly reliable analog IP that transforms how design teams integrate analog blocks into their SoCs.

Silicon Hub is proud to showcase Agile Analog’s innovative IP catalog, which is redefining flexibility, scalability, and reliability in analog design.

What Sets Agile Analog Apart

1. Composa™ Platform – Analog, Reimagined

At the heart of Agile Analog’s offering is the Composa™ technology, which allows analog IP to be custom-configured for specific design needs. Instead of rigid, one-size-fits-all analog blocks, Composa™ generates IP that is tuned to the required specifications—whether that’s a different process node, foundry, or power profile.

This fundamentally changes the analog IP paradigm. Teams can now achieve faster time-to-market and avoid costly re-spins caused by analog mismatches.

2. Digitally Wrapped for Seamless Integration

Traditional analog IP can be notoriously tricky to integrate and validate. Agile Analog solves this by providing digitally wrapped analog IP modules that are pre-verified and validated. This reduces integration risk, accelerates SoC design, and gives engineers peace of mind.

3. Broad Portfolio for Modern Applications

Agile Analog covers a wide spectrum of analog needs across industries. Their IP portfolio spans:

1. Data conversion (ADCs, DACs)
2. Power management (LDOs, regulators)
3. PVT sensing and monitoring
4. Always-on subsystems for IoT and edge devices
5. Security & anti-tamper IP (glitch detectors, clock monitors, IR-drop sensors)

This diversity makes Agile Analog a one-stop partner for semiconductor companies designing for data centers, AI/ML, IoT, automotive, aerospace, and beyond.
