Unlock the potential of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)

Our partnership with IC’Alps will benefit our mutual customers with its high-quality ASIC/SoC development services using TSMC’s industry-leading technologies, as well as IC’Alps’ experience with European markets. As a valuable design ecosystem partner, IC’Alps has extensive IC design expertise and will be able to help our customers accelerate silicon innovation for a wide range of emerging technologies.

"At Neurallys, we are developping an implantable medical device for remote monitoring of the intracranial pressure, for patients suffering from hydrocephalus. We selected IC’Alps to analyze our electronics under the prism of ASIC through a feasibility study. Their analysis provided our R&D team with very valuable information about achievable performances, size and development costs for an ASIC based integration, including various scenarii. This study demonstrated clear advantages of the ASIC approach to improve the size and the power consumption of our system, especially when miniaturization becomes an enabler to penetrate our market"

"IC’Alps’ approach to collaborative working has given ENSTA Bretagne flexibility and the security of opened discussions. A synergy of expertise has been an important factor to beat the challenge of quick realization of a functional first silicon demonstrator of our eFPGA technology. We are happy to announce that the first demonstrator in TSMC 55 nm ULP process technology is back from fab and tested fully functional"

"X-FAB as a specialty foundry relies on skilled and experienced partners. We are very happy to have IC’Alps joining our partner program, so that our customers can leverage from their expertise in mixed-signal IC design and supply chain management"

"We were extremely pleased with IC’Alps’ work on our demo chip for SkyWater’s 130nm process. The IC’Alps team is highly skilled with all aspects of physical implementation, from RTL-to-GDS implementation to tape-out. They met schedule and quality targets, and the chip is fully functional."

IC'Alps conducted a feasibility study for an in-house design of Valid’s SIM cards. The guidance from IC'Alps' teams allowed us to study this alternative to our off-the-shelf suppliers with full confidence. Diving in the analysis of the cost structure and the chip side, we now have a better understanding of the ASIC solution at-hand thanks to IC’Alps.

We were very pleased with the collaboration and quality of service provided by IC’ALPS which made this on-time tape out possible and first time functional silicon. NuRAM is 2-3x smaller than SRAM and boast significant power reduction due to the NuRAM memory subsystem’s low-leakage power. Our patented SOC Compute in Memory enables to achieve significant gain in performance, endurance and dynamic power.
