About Us
Kenet Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company, founded in 2002 to
commercialize the innovative FemtoCharge® CMOS technology that
had been developed at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory.
Our FemtoCharge technology yields an ultra-low power CMOS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in an extremely small die area. The unprecedented size and power advancements provide longer product battery life and increased portability of electronic products.
In 2005, Kenet developed its first ADC, a 10-bit converter operating at 275 MSPS. These ADCs achieve performance equal to the best traditional designs available in the marketplace, but with one-third of the core power and one-half of the total power. This chip is the basis for a product family of 8- and 10-bit ADCs at three different speed grades.
In July, 2007 Kenet extended its 8-bit product line to include a 350 MSPS ADC. In August of 2007 Kenet announced a family of 12-, and 14-bit ADCs highlighted by the flagship product, a 12-bit 500MSPS ADC. The first to achieve this sampling rate in standard CMOS and nearly an order of magnitude lower power than its competition, this new ADC firmly established Kenet as the performance leader in high speed data conversion. With a product portfolio of 44 part numbers spanning a variety of sampling rates and resolutions of 8, 10, 12 and 14 bits, Kenet now offers solutions for multiple high-performance conversion applications.
