With our experience in working with various home and office appliance manufacturers, to be able to connect a wider range of products to the Internet, we have realized that there is a need for a simple and easy solution to connect these things.
Goal of Aplix IoT IC development
By developing an IC which can interface with a wide range of products, a small and universal module for IoT can be made.
Merit of Aplix IoT IC
Connecting to the Internet by conventional methods...
With a comprehensive interface in a Single-Chip, the interfaces with various products can be unified thus more products can be connected to the Internet while development costs can be drastically reduced at the same time.

Prototype Development of Aplix IoT IC
Blue enclosure: APX6502 Green enclosure: APX7001D01
IoT IC Development Overview
Developing 2 different components
Analog I/O Chip Design
In Phase 1, to reduce the development cost and time, a generic base chip with standard cells are used
standard cells: NPN and PNP transistors, resistors, condensers, generic digital logic (NAND, NOR, INV, DFF, XOR)
Analog I/O Chip Overview
• BiCMOS 44pin QFN or 64pin QFP 0.5mm pitch
• Basic Functions:
– 3V Power Regulator (Input Range 4-14V, can provide power to JM1 and A-CPU)
– 8 or 16ch comparator input (variable comparison voltage)
– 8 or 16ch level shifter (5V -> 3V convertor)
– 4ch LED driver (14V withstand open collector)
– 4ch analog switch (5v withstand)
– configuration register (set variables used above)
