About Cratlon

Cratlon Ltd is a consultancy and R&D company, providing Mixed-signal IC design services, Wireless Sensor reference designs, Training in analogue IC design and semiconductor physics, and Semiconductor Business and Technology consultancy.

Tim Cummins, Cratlon CEO & Founder, has over 20 years of design and executive management experience in Westinghouse and Analog Devices. He was responsible for microprocessor hardware & software development, sensors, Semiconductor fabrication and mixed-signal IC design. His designs have generated tens of millions dollars revenue. He holds 11 US Patents in mixed-signal CMOS IC design, has published several papers, and is a visiting lecturer and guest speaker at industry conferences and panels.

Ray Speer, Cratlon Director, has 20 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, and holds several US Patents in mixed-signal IC design. He was Vice President, Mixed-Signal Design, in Parthus Ltd, and a key member of the senior management team which oversaw the Nasdaq flotation of Parthus in 1999. In 2002 he joined Silansys as director, a Dublin IC design company which was acquired by Frontier Silicon in early 2005.

Our management team and engineers have 100+ years experience in CMOS IC design from 4um High-Voltage CMOS to 130nm Deep-Sub-Micron CMOS, semiconductor and thin-film materials science, embedded hardware and wireless Stack Development, and GSM/GPRS remote telemetry. This unique blend of experience enables us to address all aspects of the single-chip-wireless-sensor from the system and application level right down to the IC converter circuits and on-chip silicon sensors. Cratlon has filed patents on humidity and gas-sensor integration directly in sub-micron CMOS, and is engaged with a large OEM to bring this to market.
