ASIC Design

Flexible Support for Analog, Digital and Mixed-Signal Developments

ASIC Design – Completely Individual

Every one of our design projects is as individual as your business and your product. We strive for regular communication – from early development stage to ready prototypes. This is the only way to make sure that parameters such as functionality, efficiency, electricity consumption and chip size can be achieved in the best possible way.

We Are One Step Ahead!

During the design stage, we are already considering the later production. Thanks to our expert know-how in ASIC production, with us you will find minimum-cost solutions in ASIC production right from the start.

New Developments

As Flexible as Your Product Requirements

Based on our experience, customer motivation for ASIC development is as diverse as the options for realisation. As well as cost reduction, space or weight saving and energy saving, the use of own IPs and increased protection against plagiarism plays an increasingly important role in the industry. A further bonus of customer-specific circuits is long-lasting deliverability.

You can find an overview of our IP right here.

“Productivity Engineering” stands for uncompromising quality in the design of analog and Mixed-Signal ASICS! Widely diverse products for industrial use, communications electronics, sensor technology, medical technology and aviation technology have been born from our experienced development team.

A variety of semiconductor processes and structure sizes from 1.0µ to 65nm allows us to secure a maximum degree of freedom, both in the implementation of requirement specifications and cost-optimization in production. The development of circuits for high-temperature applications and space travel is proof of our know-how.

Step by Step on the Road to Success

As well as efficient design, our focus is on requirements and production quantities, therefore leading to an adequate development budget. This is achieved in several ways, such as the large amount of IP blocks that we can directly use. The result is that we have shorter development phases and a higher success rate.

Our comprehensive range of services for your new developments:

• Feasibility analysis and estimate of development costs
• Advice on packaging selection and production planning
• Specification drafting, design and layout
• Prototype production
• Prototype initialisation and verification in our laboratory
• Production transfer preparation (test specification and creation of production data)
• Batch production

Technology Conversion

Your Products Always Up-to-date

In the past, many semiconductor processes were discontinued because of the need for more and more integration and a reduction in power consumption and production costs. This makes customers wonder how the deliverability of products can be guaranteed over a period of 10 years or more.

We have the solution for you: In the case that an FPGA or an ASIC is discontinued, the product is transferred into a new production technology. Many components have been incorporated into a modern semiconductor platform by us. The supply obligations of our customers have been fulfilled, in conditions that were easily affordable!

“If you find yourself affected by the discontinuation of one of your standard products, speak to us! In a personal consultation we will happily evaluate your situation and put your application requirements into a targeted specification. Then we can make an offer for the transfer of the component into a long-lasting, available technology, including the production and a defined delivery period.”

Replacement of Components

The Alternative to Product Discontinuation

The short life cycles of electronic standard elements are normal these days. Are you a manufacturer of long-lasting systems for medicine, industry, automation or traffic and transport? If so, then you know the problem: How can you accomplish product life cycles of twenty years or more?

We have the solution for you: If a standard element is discontinued, we can test the functionality of the component and carry out the reproduction of simple parts. In doing so, your products will stay on the market and your investments will be secure for a long time. You can profit from our expert knowledge in product migration towards modern semiconductor technologies. This is how you can fulfil delivery obligations – under affordable conditions!

Design Services

Expert Knowledge for Your Products

Do you have individual product requirements and carry out ASIC design in-house? Are you under time pressure? Are you looking for special analog skills? Are you looking for a partner with analog and Mixed-Signal design skills who can also serve the whole supply chain?

Through the specification development, circuit development and layout stages, our experts will stand by your side and support your development team with our design services. As the availability of our engineers is not unlimited, we ask for timely notice when carrying out external projects.

The results are professional designs and layouts from experienced circuit developers and observance, or rather shortening, of your development times. If required, we can also take over production completely.
