Complementary Services:

advICo offers various complementary services for you:

• Verification services
• RF-Board-Design
• Custom Hardware/Software Design
• Prototype test
• Consulting

Verification services: DRC check with the golden flow! Especially for IHPs processes we offer to check your designs before tapeout with Cadence Diva or Assura tools. This gives you the option to operate with small-budget software without the risk of catastrophic failure due to tool restrictions of other tools or errors in non-supported kits. Beside checking your design we also offer to perform filler generation and parasitic extraction for you.

RF Board Design: Once your chip is ready...what do you do with it? RF PCB design is a challenge just as chip design is. Size and cost constraints, thermal and electrical problems, materials, connectors, fabrication and so on add a lot of work until you can begin to measure. advICo can help to develop both PCB and software components for your prototype or product.

Custom Hardware/Software Design: Some problems don't justify the NRE of an IC development and hence must be solved using discrete elements and existing off-the-shelf ICs. Microcontrollers and computer interfaces often require complementary programming. Isolation requirements may cause headaches. We'll be happy to find and develop a solution for your problem.

Consulting: advICo offers various consulting services, for example:

• Pre-studies and feasability studies (high speed or exotic problems)
• Seminars (e.g. RF-Design, Efficient Design Kit use)
• Project planning, technology selection

If you have additional requirements, ask us...we're happy to serve you!
