Engineering Expertise
Disciplined Methodology
Open-Silicon's design engineering teams are experts in handling complex ASIC designs. Our disciplined approach combined with active feedback to customers throughout the design process ensures that programs are executed to a predictable design timetable. Our innovative design methodology combined with our deep design expertise and experience in the selection, qualification and integration of third party IP, enable the consistent delivery of reliable silicon.
Early analysis of each customer's design by our engineering team, including running Open-Silicon's in-house developed DesignScanner software, enables us to identify and resolve technical challenges even before the design is completed. Our rigorous and rigid design methodology then reduces any chances of design escapes, allowing us to deliver an industry-leading level of first-time silicon success.
Our OpenMODEL™ provides customers complete visibility into schedules and design issues. This fosters a collaborative approach to design. Full visibility regarding design, IP selection and integration helps customers make well informed decisions, which are invaluable for architectural and design trade-offs.
