Differentiate Your Designs with our End-to-End Solutions
SoC Design
New system architectures introduce new challenges in hardware/software partitioning and microarchitecture optimization. HPC, AI, and automotive segments are particularly dynamic markets where complex SoC development is getting more complex. Tight correlation between front-end design, implementation and package design are critical and require accurate performance and power modeling to meet product specifications. We offer flexible engagement models including turnkey SoC, subsystem block level and anything and everything between Spec-to-GDSII. We work closely with you to scale quality resourcing specific to your design needs.
Arm Core Hardening and Optimization
Improve the core of your system with our Arm SoC experts and architects by optimizing your product cost, battery life and TOPs per application. Use our Qiks for a DIY approach or leverage our solution architects and subject matter technology experts to accelerate your schedules while we ramp your team for your next generation product.
Methodology and Flow Deployment
Advanced technology nodes make flow development an inevitable part of a design process. Our design methodology and flow deployment experts can help to optimize your existing flow, implement new sub-flows, or deploy a new one if needed. Our consultants have reduced months off flow-development with the LynxNXT Automation System, Synopsys’ tool automation, project reporting, and flow environment.
