Services

Have an application and don't know where to start? Give us an idea of electrical, temperature, power and cost needs and we can help you identify a solution that will meet your needs. From simulation studies and ASIC specifications to full-blown custom ICs, we can help you navigate the myriad of choices that have to be made at the system, component and IC levels.

Extreme environments require extreme tools. Off-the-shelf EDA won't cut it when you're pushing the limits. We have developed new models, design rules and customized design tools to support rugged design activities.

• Behavioral (system) models
• Device characterization (temperature, radiation, etc)
• Desktop, Server and Web-facing design and analysis tools

Need a unique package? Not sure what package, die attach, wire bond or board material to use? We can help you pick a stack that will support your system and offer prototype packages in reasonable volumes with quick turns.

Analog, Digital, Mixed-Signal Design

We have the expertise in analog, digital, mixed-signal design to solve your integrated circuit problems. We can work with you to develop a specification, identify a manufacturing process, and develop anything from a single circuit or layout to a complete ASIC.

• Full custom ASIC design
• Physical design
• Pad frame generation

Extreme Environment Testing

A ruggedized circuit has to work far beyond powerup on the bench. We can help you qualify your component for wide temperature operation (pre- and post-packaging). Thermal cycling, thermal shock, and wide temperature characterization are just some of the extreme environment capabilities we can offer. Need a unique automated test configuration? We can help with custom drivers, hardware and software to solve your extreme environment testing needs.

Libraries, IP, PDKs

We've developed extensive analog, digital and mixed-signal gate libraries that can support rapid design composition. We can also use our hardened IC know-how to produce a library to support your IC needs.

• Logic libraries/Gate libraries
• Custom IP development (amplifiers, references, data converters - you name it)
• Custom Process Design Kits (PDKs)
  • Extend an existing process for extreme environments
  • Develop an entirely new process
