The research areas of CIAN team focus on design methods for analog and digital components which are integrated on the same chip (AMS-SOC). The main aim is to design generic components that can be adapted for a wide range of applications. Components differ depending upon the nature of the signal to process : signal processors (DSP), digital ASIC, programmable logic component (FPGA), analog circuits, multi-standard RF components and SOC Clocks. The CIAN team proposes a solution for design reuse.

The on-going research projects within the team are : CORIOLIS, ARITHLIB, CAIRO+ and HODISS.
