CSEM is one of Europe’s leading low power ASIC design providers. With roots in the Swiss watch industry, CSEM is today an acknowledged reference in the fields of ultra low power and low-voltage analog, digital and mixed-signal ASIC design.
Our strengths include: • Low power, low voltage RF & analog IC and SoC (e.g. 2mA Rx current radio) • Ultra low power DSP cores (e.g. 6µW/MHz in 65nm) • Intelligent vision sensors • System-on-Chip integration & embedded software development Our expert designers have proven experience in translating customer requirements into high-quality ASIC designs to optimize cost, performance and time-to-market in close cooperation with the customer. Our proven design flow is complemented by state of the art design tools and measurement equipment to ensure quality and on-time delivery.
CSEM provides a flexible engagement model, ranging from licensing of our ultra low power IP’s (e.g. icyflexTM 32-bit MCU/DSP core, low-leakage memories, etc) and customized analog IP block design for semiconductor vendors, through to full-custom ASIC and SoC design and delivery.
Our fabless production service offers industrialization, test, qualification and small series production. We work with most of the major foundries, and cover technology nodes from 0.5µm down to 55nm CMOS.
Served markets include portable medical, industrial, consumer, home automation and automated meter reading.
