Other areas of expertise for the company in medical, industrial, IoT, IA, mil-aero and digital identity and security include analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits such as sensor/MEMS interfaces and high-resolution converters as well as signal processing. It also has expertise in ultra-low power consumption designs and ARM and RISC-V based multiprocessors architectures and hardware accelerators on technologies from 0.18 μm down to 5 nm with multiple foundries including TSMC, Global Foundries, Tower Semiconductor, X-fab and STMicroelectronics.
The mature team at Toulouse integrates key skills in major steps of ASIC development: specification, design, verification, characterization, industrial test and design-in support. This team will also bring an automotive functional expertise, with a dedicated development cycle and relevant safety frameworks (ASIL A to D, IATF16949-ready).
The team will also be involved in HealthTech projects, among others those within the French industrial group DOLIAM, the parent company of IC’Alps.
