Designing a custom IC for an analog or RF application
requires a combination of RF and Analog circuit techniques, understanding
semiconductor technology and experience with the necessary tools
and design flows. Integre Technologies engineers have experience
in these areas and can assist in developing a turnkey ASIC solution,
from concept to silicon, in totality or in part. Some of our customers
have vast experience in analog or RF design but lack experience
in the design and development of a custom RF or analog integrated
circuit. Other customers may require the addition of wireless capability
to an otherwise digital based product. Integre can assist in the
development of an architecture and specification suitable for integration,
engage in foundry selection, execute the detailed design, physical
layout and deliver the GDSII database to the foundry for fabrication.
Typically our customers will contract directly with the foundry
for procurement of tested and packaged ICs, however Integre will
support the process through fabrication, prototype testing, production
test development and finally delivery of production parts that meet
the needs of our customer. We can also assist in the integration
of the IC into the customers final product.
Tools:
Integre Technologies is an independent
design services company and therefore has the freedom to use the
best tools for the job.
