Gain ICs Information

Gain ICs was founded to develop UltraPhase Coordination™ (UPC), a new approach to phase tracking designed to achieve exceptionally wide tracking bandwidths. With unity phase transfer extending to—and limited only by—the reference frequency, UPC enables near-ideal phase coherence. Silicon characterization has confirmed this performance. UPC also eliminates jitter peaking—a significant limitation of traditional phase-tracking architectures—and reduces jitter accumulation through substantially faster loop gain. PLLs based on UPC, which we call instantaneous loops (iLs) or ideal PLLs, enhance performance across a broad range of clocking, communications, PLL, and DLL applications beyond what is achievable with conventional phase-tracking methods. This technology also enables new applications such as instantaneous wireless (IW), an RF communications architecture designed to deliver transmission ranges up to 400 times greater and link spectral efficiency up to 1300 times greater than comparable conventional RF modulation schemes, including 256-QAM and higher-order constellations. These capabilities could enable entirely new applications, including truly automated item-level tracking, very-high-capacity networks, and velocity-independent localization with submeter accuracy through wireless triangulation.
