en.Wedoany.com Reported - Beijing Simo Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (Simo Microelectronics) showcased its product portfolio and application solutions tailored for China's industrial upgrade needs at the 2026 electronica China, focusing on high-performance ADCs, DACs, amplifiers, and supporting signal chain products. As one of the few domestic high-end analog signal chain companies covering seven major product lines with the capability to independently define architectures across all categories, these solutions demonstrate the company's ability to achieve a complete technical closed loop, from full forward architecture design to domestic tape-out verification and mass production.
Simo Microelectronics' technological foundation stems from the profound academic accumulation and industry insights of its founder, Dr. Sun Nan, a Harvard Ph.D. As a tenured professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University and an IEEE Fellow, Sun Nan has long focused on ADC/DAC research. In recent years, his team has led the industry in the number of papers published in top-tier journals and conferences in this field. After giving up his U.S. green card to return to China full-time, he led the team to publish the first ADC paper from mainland China at ISSCC, providing support for the company's independent R&D and engineering implementation.
Addressing industrial data acquisition needs, Simo Microelectronics has built a high-performance ADC product matrix covering low-speed high-precision, multi-channel synchronous sampling, and high-speed acquisition. Products represented by the CM2368, a multi-channel synchronous sampling SAR ADC, target high-reliability scenarios such as relay protection, traveling wave fault location, and industrial multi-channel acquisition, focusing on solving issues like multi-channel signal synchronization consistency, long-term stability, and controllability of the domestic supply chain. For high-precision measurement and sensor interface scenarios, the company has deployed higher-resolution Σ-Δ ADCs and AFE products. For communication, broadband reception, and high-speed acquisition scenarios, it has launched data converters with higher speeds and dynamic performance. Simultaneously, the company has built complete signal chain capabilities including DACs, amplifiers, voltage references, and LDOs.
Focusing on applications such as industrial automation, process control, and field instruments, Simo Microelectronics demonstrated industrial signal chain solutions for temperature acquisition, analog input, analog output, and loop drive. In temperature acquisition, the CM1310 series integrates modules such as a 1-128x programmable gain amplifier, constant current source, and high-precision voltage reference, meeting the 24-bit high-precision temperature measurement requirements of industrial sites with low power consumption. In the analog input direction, products represented by the CM1348 support multi-channel signal access and sensor front-end acquisition in industrial sites. In the analog output direction, the company launched a fully integrated ±10V/4-20mA analog output solution, covering typical applications such as conventional current output and loop-powered 4-20mA output.
In the field of high-speed data acquisition, Simo Microelectronics launched the high-speed high-precision ADC CM3452. While ensuring dual-channel synchronous high-speed conversion performance, this product consumes 960mW, only one-third of the power consumption of international competitors. This product is also the first high-speed high-precision ADC to be taped out and mass-produced on a domestic wafer foundry process, eliminating dependence on overseas processes and making it suitable for multi-channel, high-density data acquisition systems.
Focusing on SIN/COS signal conditioning and synchronous sampling, Simo Microelectronics exhibited a complete encoder application solution, covering key aspects such as front-end signal amplification, precise sampling, and low-noise power supply. This solution includes operational amplifier devices like the CM4132, dual-channel synchronous sampling SAR ADCs like the CM2272, and low-noise LDOs like the CM6511 and CM6111, providing a domestic hardware foundation for motion control in high-end equipment such as servo drives, robots, and CNC machine tools.
At this electronica China, Simo Microelectronics demonstrated its system-level signal chain capabilities oriented towards real-world applications. From industrial acquisition, process control, high-speed data acquisition to high-precision encoder applications, its product layout and solution validation cover multiple dimensions including front-end conditioning, data conversion, low-noise power supply, long-term stability, and mass production delivery.
