ASIC/IC DESIGN
Silis is able to provide a full­service for integrated circuit design. Thanks to the experience of Silis design group, the Customer is advised throughout the entire project in the world of IC, from scratch ideas to the final product. The experience of Silis design group encompasses analogue IC, mixed­signal IC, RF IC and high­speed digital circuits designed with analogue techniques. DESIGN SKILLS
Analogue domain
­ Mixed­signal custom IC
­ A/D converters (high­speed SAR, high­speed,
pipeline, flash, sigma­delta A/D, ...)
­ Power management (BG, LDO, DC­DC, ...) ­ High speed communications (multi­Gb/s LVDS
links, clock and data recovery circuits, ...) ­ Multimedia (video SerDes, audio drivers, ...)
­ General purpose (op.amp, filters, Xtal, RTCC)
Digital domain
­ Digital sub­circuits for mixed­signal IC (embedded cores, calibration, self­test, ...)
­ Mixed­mode simulation (joint analog­digital)
RF domain
­ LNA's, VCO's, PLL's
­ UHF RFID
From general purpose to application specific IC (ASIC), from state­of­the­art IP to next generation sensor interfaces ... Silis integrates our imagination into your design !

Our design experience is quickly brought to your service in order to solve your project scheduling. Silis offers the opportunity to add skilled, experienced autonomous IC designers to your design team. Proficiencies range from schematic, layout and
optimization of analogue/RF circuit design, to mixed mode and post­layout sims.
TEST and CHARACTERIZATION Silis benefits from the collaboration with the University of Parma and the precious experience of senior test engineers who proofed their skills in integrated circuit characterization. We are able to set up test­bench for:
­ device characterization (I/V, MOS, BJT)
­ analog measurements (up to 1­2GHz) ­ fast transition time meas. (200ps), jitter, ...
­ ADC test and characterization (up to 1GS/s) ­ on­wafer RF test (up to 20GHz) ­ noise: 1/f (1Hz­100kHz) and thermal (up to 6GHz)
­ climatic chamber measurements
PROTOTYPING
Silis offers opportunities for low cost access to IC prototypes in different technologies, both CMOS and BiCMOS. On the basis of the design type, size, application, time­to­market, Silis proposes the more convenient access to silicon prototypes.
From general purpose to application specific IC (ASIC), from state­of­the­art IP to next generation sensor interfaces ... Silis integrates our imagination into your design !
