ShortLink

Our main focus:

• Low power mixed signal ASIC
• Low power RF ASIC
• Analog, mixed, digital and RF ASIC

In addition to RF ASIC, we are also skilled at designing ASICs for applications where extremely long battery life is required. These are often circuits with demanding analog functions together with micro-controllers on a single circuit – known as “System on Chip”.

Over the years we have gained extensive experience with design solutions that outperform standard components in a given application; often these are also extremely compact designs.

ShortLink has all the competence, experience and design tools needed to successfully design your custom ASIC from beginning to end. We also offer our design services individually. We can help you with one or several parts of the development – we offer everything from pre-studies, system level architecture, analog and digital design, layout, simulation, verification, supply services and more. Please contact us with your specific project requirements for more information.

ShortLink has a large catalogue of in-house developed IP blocks available for licensing. Our IP blocks are available in a variety of technologies and foundries from from deep sub-micron CMOS technologies to high voltage (400V+) processes. We are experienced in porting analogue IP blocks between process nodes and foundries – an invaluable skill to reduce risk and cost during development while maintaining flexibility.

In addition to our existing catalogue, we also offer our ASIC design services for new IP block designs. Novel IP blocks can either be based on existing designs and IP or designed from scratch depending on the requirements of the block.

ShortLink provides full turnkey ASIC manufacturing services, taking products from prototype to mass production using the most suitable technologies available.

We have a flexible supply chain service that adapts to each customer’s unique needs and volumes. Our service includes all necessary steps from wafer procurement, probing, packaging, IC testing, storage and distribution of ICs.

With more than 25 years’ experience of advanced electronics development and performance optimization, we can offer a complete service for the design of portable low power and wireless communication – both with discrete components and standard IC circuits at board level or completely integrated silicon solutions in the form of ASICs (i.e. non-standard tailor-made IC circuits).

By managing our projects from the initial concept to finished product, we can deliver time-efficient high-performance solutions.

We can help you take the lead in your field, regardless of your product area. We are especially skilled in wireless and radio development. Our radio knowledge includes RF ASIC development, Antenna development, Hardware, Software, Radio protocols, EMC and radio testing.

We have a solid, comprehensive expertise covering everything from the initial stage of development, through design and testing, to a product ready for market launch. Unique know-how that is available to you for many kinds of development projects.

When size is important and performance has to be excellent, our antenna team springs into action. Having been involved in developing antennas for brands such as Apple, Nokia and Ericsson, we have extensive knowledge and expertise.

One of the major challenges today is wireless communications for the Internet of Things. Portable, often very small, devices demand micro antennas that still provide superior performance and stability.  Together with our Test Centre, complete with an anechoic test chamber, we can offer a unique holistic process for antennas – from design to verification and measurement.
