Our expertise for industrial ASIC design & supply

Mixed-signal expertise

We specialize in the domain of mixed-signal ASICs, particularly for sensor interfaces where low-noise analog elements for data acquisition meet with digital functions for data processing.

On chip processor architectures

We integrate various processor cores (Arm, RISC-V) and related subsystems including digital and analog peripherals. IC’Alps has been appointed Arm Approved Design Partner.

Tailored supply chain

Being an independent company, we work with strategic partners and we can set up the supply chain that perfectly matches your ASIC project requirements, budget and schedule.

Custom sensor interfaces

For movement, pressure, or electric currents, we have the expertise to design the ASIC that will optimally interface with your choice of sensor.

We fully understand and appreciate the specific requirements of industrial ASICs and we can offer more than design services to help your company scales up in capacity or find the right expertise. Our experts work with your team from the specification of your custom integrated circuit to silicon prototype all the while managing the entire supply chain.
