FinFET data converter IP for LiDAR
Omni Design Technologies has developed a series of data converters on advanced FinFET nodes for next generation LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) applications.
The Omni Design Technologies Swift data converters are used for ultra-high-performance ADCs and DACs at low power on a 7nm process at TSMC.
Next generation LiDAR not only measures distance but also measures doppler shift which is directly proportional to the velocity of the object. By knowing the velocity of objects, LiDAR can better anticipate and avoid potential collisions and allows for safer more efficient navigation.
A specialized receiver channel for next generation LiDAR including Omni Designs’ proprietary front-end technology is optimized for low-power and high-speed, while maintaining wide dynamic range with dynamic range control for adaptive performance.

Swift multi-channel ADCs with sampling rates ranging from 200Msample/s to 10Gsample/s and resolution of 10bits to 14bits. These ADCs are integrated with supporting components such as LDOs, process, voltage and temperature monitors, bandgap reference, and low-jitter Phase Lock Loops (PLL) ensuring high performance and reliability.
Over fifteen high performance low power IP solutions for next generation LiDAR applications, including Swift data converters to 10Gsample/s have been added to Omni Design Technologies portfolio, enabling clients to speed time-to-market and reduce development and deployment risk.
The company is headquartered in Milpitas, California with five additional design centres globally including Dublin, Ireland.
“Omni Design Technologies is accelerating the productization of ADAS solutions, enabling our customers to move quickly and with reduced risk,” said Dr. Kush Gulati, President, and CEO of Omni Design Technologies. “Our offerings, including silicon-verified receiver front ends and Swift™ data converter cores, exemplify our commitment to excellence in LiDAR technology. These advancements are a testament to our dedication to setting new industry standards and driving innovation in the LiDAR landscape.”
