We provide architecture and design services for designers of integrated circuits. We specialize in the development of processors, processor-based systems, and application-specific instruction sets. Our clients range from small startups to Fortune 500 companies. What they share in common is the need for elegant and efficient solutions to challenging problems.

We place emphasis on simplicity and elegance. Risk and complexity management are the cornerstones of the successful design of integrated circuits. And it is in the early stage of the project, when defining the architecture, that we have the most leverage to reduce complexity. A successful architecture is one that can be explained in five minutes using a simple block diagram. Furthermore, we understand the product requirements and constraints change--hardly surprising given the long development time. A simple architecture can be stretched and extended over its lifetime to accommodate new needs.

Our services range from short consultations giving feedback on existing designs, to early-stage consultation--especially for clients developing application specific instruction sets--to complete design and implementation. Please contact us for more details.
