iSine

iSine will work with the customer to understand the application and to write the specification for the chip.  At this point, iSine will define the optimal semiconductor process node to meet the design and financial goals.  A ‘turnkey development’ will follow where iSine engineers design, simulate, lays out, verifies the chip and releases it to the semiconductor fab.  iSine manages the fabrication of the semiconductor, develops custom packages (where needed), and works with the test houses to finish the chips.  Customers are delivered packaged, tested devices in production volume.

iSine has delivered to this model in consumer, industrial, medical and mil/aero industries.

Custom Analog and Digital ASIC design and development are provided for customers who have existing relationships with semiconductor vendors.  As part of the service offering, iSine engineers will help in the selection of the optimal semiconductor process node to meet the requirements at the lowest cost.  A specification is developed and the device is designed and delivered to the customer. Optionally, iSine can interface with the semiconductor vendor.

FPGA design and development for Vision Processing and Medical applications are delivered using methodologies developed in multiple customer applications.

FPGAs are often used for early models for release to software development teams to begin system integration prior to receiving full custom ASICs from fabrication.  iSine has used this flow for multiple designs in different industries.

Customers come to iSine when their current suppliers have discontinued their production chips.  iSine has the expertise to re-design and retarget to a current semiconductor technology to deliver functional and timing equivalent devices.  iSine will then manage the IC production, packaging and test of the new devices. The team at iSine works with customers to select the process that meets their requirements (long term availability, lowest cost, etc).
