Feasibility Study

We strongly recommend to run a detailed feasibility study before starting any project to miniaturize a sensor product or to develop an ASIC or a Block of it. This should be done especially for automotive and other safety relevant products that need to fulfill the functional safety standards due to the IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 regulations.

We run feasibility studies including Supplier, Fab, Process, Effort, Cost, Packaging, Test, Production as well as System Partitioning and Architecture analyses with the goal to deliver basis for management decision making and minimizing the risks.

Design

Analog/Mixed-Signal and RF ASIC Block Top-level Modeling (VerilogA, MatLab, Cadence), Transistor Level Circuit Simulation (Cadence, Spice), Layout and Post-Layout. Review and design verification as well as support in failure analysis of silicon received from the fab.

Modeling of detectors and optical sensors for development of the front-end.

Definition of safety goals and safety mechanisms, determination of failure rates, FMEDA, Technical Safety conceptuation due to functional safety standards (IEC 61508, ISO 26262).

Strategy & Process

With our years of experience in the Semiconductor Industry and Market we provide invaluable inputs to product companies in: 

- Development Process and Specification of new products for risk and cost minimization.

- Product and M&A Strategy development with focus on Integrated Circuits (IC) and Smart Sensor Products.
