Capabilities of Design Centre :

  • Asic Feasibility
  • bullet
    Our feasibility studies cover the complete development cycle from concept, technology choice, requirements, cost and schedule ... providing you with a dependable, realistic development plan. This plan will not only help to steer up your business investment decisions, but also assist you in communicating the benefits of your project to your management and/or your customers, which will increase their confidence in your abilities to deliver successful products.
  • Circuit Design
  • bullet
    With years of experience using “top-down” design methods, we can assist you in decomposing your ASIC requirements into small functional blocks that can be easily understood. We can design functional blocks if needed, however, we have hundreds of functional blocks that have been proven in production and can be re-used if appropriate. Each functional block, selected or designed, is then simulated over process cases and temperature to ensure that performance requirements will be consistently met in high volume production. Finally, simulation results as well as non-simulable effects for the completed ASICs are reviewed and a detailed chip layout plan is proposed to ensure the layout to meet your needs, and be completed on schedule
  • Chip Layout
  • bullet
    Using standardized heights, row pitches, and power supply busing, AMPEL produces very modular and flexible layouts that are assembled in minimum time with minimal errors, hence facilitating the Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) checking and achieving first-time silicon success. AMPEL complements commercial CAD tools with its internal proprietary CAD tools that can be adjusted quickly for special needs. In this way, labor-intensive error prone activities are avoided, resulting in lower risk, as well as savings of time and money, to you.
  • Wafer and Package Testing
  • bullet
    All of our wafer and package testing is designed for 100% fault coverage. The tests are defined with a series of test conditions, with each test condition defining the state of every pin in terms of voltage, current and loading. The tested pin’s voltage or current measurement is compared to test limits obtained from the simulations described in the “Circuit Design” section. In that the ASIC is also simulated in the system application with the same case models as the test requirements, functionality in the system is assured. Testing is performed with custom modular test equipment that can easily be adapted to many special needs, such as high voltages, high currents, mixed-signals, etc., to meet your special needs. You can be confident of the performance of the ASICs that ennoble your system.
  • Packaging
  • bullet
    In that AMPEL’s main expertise is in electronics, items such as packing (which is primarily mechanical in nature) are outsourced. We have experience with several packaging houses, and can work with any package house of your choice. Our ICs have been packaged in plastic dual in line (DIL), quad flat packs (QFP), and ceramic packages of various pin configurations.
  • Fabrication
  • bullet
    In that AMPEL’s main expertise is in electronics, items such as wafer processing (which is primarily chemical in nature) are outsourced. We have experience with several wafer fabrication facilities (FABs), and can work with any package house of your choice. FAB used include junction isolated complimentary bipolar up 10 to 90 volts, dielectric isolated DMOS up to 300 volts, and BiCMOS 5 to 10 volts, and Ft up to 20 GHz.
