Analog & RF
ASIC Design Services:
Designing a custom IC or circuit board 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 solution,
from concept to final product, 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 customer’s final product. Integre is fully
capable in all of the following areas of the analog/RF ASIC design
flow:
• Architecture and Specification
• Circuit Board Design
• IC Foundry Selection
• Cell Design
• Physical Layout
• Test Plans
• Performance Verification
• Modeling
• Test and Product Integration Support
Tools:
Integre Technologies is an independent design services
company and therefore has the freedom to use the best tools for
the job. Integre engineers have had experience are listed below.
• Cadence
• Agilent ADS
• Matlab/Simulink
• Mentor
