VCA-12 - Small, High-Voltage, High Current VCA
VCA-12 is a small, high-voltage, high-current Via-Configurable Array (VCA) optimized for low-cost, volume-constrained applications. Despite its small size, VCA-12 includes over 5,000 configurable mixed signal resources.
Fabricated on a high-voltage, 0.18-micron, ITAR-certified process, the VCA-12 is ideal for defense, medical, industrial and consumer applications seeking to cost effectively integrate circuits such as op-amps, filters, voltage regulation, data converters, and sensor interfaces.
The array supports 12V operation for high-voltage analog circuits, 5V operation for low-voltage analog, 3.3V or 5V operation for digital circuits and configurable I/O pads to support 3.3V to 12V operation.
