RAMXEED develops FeRAM-embedded ASSP chipset adopted by smart contact lenses

RAMXEED’s analog circuit technologies for RF communication and AD adopted by SEED's smart contact lenses innovation!

Overview

RAMXEED has developed two types of functional chips, an RFID function for wireless communication and an AD converter function that can connect various sensors, on a LSI chip with FeRAM measuring only 1.04 mm□, and has started providing them as "ASSP chipset".
It has been adopted as a common architecture for a platform that accelerates the development and manufacturing of smart contact lenses (Figure 1) and can be used to collect and process various data depending on the types of sensors that are combined.

Details

SEED, a company specializing in production and sales of contact lenses, released an advanced multipurpose platform for accelerating the development and manufacturing of smart contact lenses. This platform is built with components including control LSI, flexible substrate, chip embedding process, etc. (Figure 2), while a common architecture that packages the entire system of built-in electronic devices and peripheral devices required for smart contact lenses is provided.
Companies, universities, and other research institutions that use this platform will be able to enjoy its function for a wide range of purposes and are expected to implement innovative services and products using smart contact lenses in our society for numerous fields such as Communication, Entertainment, and Education. (See Figure 3 and 4)

By using our analog circuit technologies, we provided a suitable ASSP chipset for the platform. This ASSP chipset is made of the MB97R7100 RF chip and the MS97R5430 16-bit AD converter chip (Figure5). It has scalability that allows functionalities to be added by attaching new chips and, by combining them with various sensors, they can collect and process different data as an edge device. Accordingly, its use is expected to be expanded to other products and fields.
