ELECTRA IC

Advanced Verification in IC design means using the latest verification methodologies like UVM, UVVM, OSVVM. Our team has experience using those methodologies in FPGA design of aerospace and defence projects and ASIC design verification projects.

We will generate verification metrics and report them back to you so that you will have proof of the quality of the verification environment. The confidence level of your design will gradually increase as we present the code coverage metrics, such as statements, branches, FSMs, conditions, and expressions in your design code. Functional coverage metrics will also be provided to see how much of your design requirements are covered.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

ELECTRA IC takes the ownership of:

• Building/reviewing your design requirements
• Generating the Verification Plan according to the requirements
• Building the verification environment using your preferred verification methodology
• Implementing the test cases according to the Verification Plan
• Analyzing code coverage and functional coverage and capturing improvement points in the verification
• Build new test cases or modify existing ones to increase coverage metrics and finalise the verification project.

Our core competence is Digital IC Design. Hence, we have extensive experience working in ASIC/FPGA or PCB design projects. Just provide us with the system specification, and we can design and verify the ASIC/FPGA and/or PCB. If needed, we can do the mechanical design and production and deliver you the final product.

• ASIC Design & Verification Services: ELECTRA IC has taken many roles, from system design to sign-off for tape-out in ASIC projects. Some examples are WiFi, BT, and ADSL.
• IP/VIP Design: IP/VIP Design, Tool Evaluation, IP Evaluation, Training
• PCB Design & Verification Services: Schematic Design, Schematic Verification, Stack-up Design, Layout, Signal Integrity Analysis, PCB Production & Assembly, PCB Tests
• FPGA Design & Verification Services: Requirements capture, Requirements tracing during the whole FPGA design flow, RTL Coding, Functional Simulation, Directed Tests, Random Tests using SystemVerilog / UVM, Formal Verification, Place & Route, FPGA Validation in our lab

We can design an embedded system as a part of a complete device system that includes hardware, such as electrical and mechanical components. Unlike the general-purpose computer, the embedded system is engineered to manage a wide range of processing tasks. Because an embedded system is engineered to perform specific tasks, we may optimise size, cost, power consumption, reliability, and performance. Embedded systems require different software design philosophies and disciplines where real-time performance, responsiveness, robustness, resiliency, cost, power, and memory budgets are the main parameters.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

A professional Engineer Training Programme from engineers expert in their fields!

EIC Academy Engineer Training Programme is a probation period programme for recruits. A group of 6 to 10 new engineers goes through an 8-week intensive programme, which includes training on different topics, hands-on project practices, presentation of what has been studied during the training and detailed evaluation feedback given by expert engineers in their fields. Certified Training Instructors deliver the training, projects are mentored by expert engineers and the assessments are conducted by at least three experts. To complete the programme, candidates must successfully pass the overall assessments.

EIC Academy is a professional Engineer Training Program in “Digital Design and Advanced Verification Techniques”.

As part of the EIC Academy, young engineers undergo an 8-week intensive program that includes “training in the field of Digital Design & VHDL and System Verilog & UVM”, “applied projects”, and a detailed “assessment report” prepared by expert engineers in their fields. This allows young engineers to start their business life more equipped.
