Circuit Design

Circuit analysis, design and optimization by our experienced circuit design team can assist with any Analog, or Mixed Signal task, from simple functional layout to full-custom development to advanced synthesis. We can tailor our services from individual contributors to supplement your team with specialized skills to turn-key in-house IP and product development.

Back-End Services

We offer full backend services to help our customers to move quickly and easily into silicon production.

 

Our industry-recognized team of experts provides all services needed to take your design into GDS2 and to silicon phase.

 

Our backend team is highly experienced in working with many different foundries, and packaging and test sites and can perfectly match the project needs with the most capable and cost effective backend site.

We have experience in multiple geometries raging from 180nm down to 22nm.

Custom PDK and PCELL

High-quality PCells and PDKs can significantly reduce design time and errors. We can develop a complete solution for you as our team have decades of full custom design experience and can be used to guarantee correct-by-construction design.

Low Cost ASIC or ASSP

If you need an ASIC but don’t have the budget we can help. We can plan an execute projects with flexible financing models from amortizing costs across volume or sharing design with other customers by making an ASSP, (Application Specific Standard Product).

Smart Integrated Power

We can optimize power circuits to SiPs or SoCs allowing maximum efficiency and minimal circuit board space requirements.
