Silanna

Adaptable and Affordable Data Converters, and Laser Driver-ICs
SEMITRON’s partnership with Silanna Semiconductor gives customers direct access to a differentiated portfolio of affordable data converters and laser driver ICs.
Founded in 2008, Silanna has evolved from its RF origins into a focused analog innovator delivering its Plural Platform ADCs and FirePower™ integrated laser drivers.

With engineering operations in San Diego, Raleigh (NC), Toronto, Detroit, Boston, and Beijing, Silanna combines deep analog design expertise with ISO9001-certified manufacturing and direct partnerships with tier-1 fab and OSAT providers.

Through SEMITRON, engineers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland gain direct access to Silanna’s products, evaluation kits, samples, and technical support. The partnership simplifies sourcing, qualification, and long-term supply for industrial, automotive, aerospace, defense, healthcare, and communications applications.

Innovative High-Performance ADCs

10-16bit, 5-250MSPS ADCs with integrated DSP functions, ultra-small packages, extended temp-grade reliability, and short lead-times.

Second-source confidence

Pin-compatible, performance-equivalent ADCs that restore competition to a near-monopoly market. No hardware or software redesign required.

Significant cost reduction

~30% unit cost reduction at 1ku quantities versus legacy ADC suppliers’ products.

Shortened lead times

Lead times measured in weeks, not the months typical of incumbent suppliers.Lieferzeiten im Wochenbereich statt der bei etablierten Anbietern üblichen Monate.

LiDAR innovation

Integrated FirePower™ laser drivers reduce BOM, board footprint (5x smaller), and design complexity for ADAS, drone, and robotics applications.

Flexible design support

Platform EVKs across all resolutions of ADCs, flexible EVKs for the laser driver product, and responsive applications engineering teams.

Comprehensive Portfolio for ADCs and Laser Driver ICs

Silanna provides a wide range of ADCs and Laser driver ICs designed for high-speed data conversion, precision signal processing, and compact high-power pulsed laser control. The portfolio focuses on two product families: the Plural Platform data converters and the FirePower™ line of integrated laser drivers.

The Plural Platform is a patented architecture that uses a single die design to generate tens of unique ADC products through factory configuration. This approach delivers broad market coverage with optimized manufacturing efficiency.

The FirePower™ line delivers integrated pulsed laser driver ASICs for LiDAR, range finding, and holography applications. These devices replace complex discrete designs with a single-chip solution.
