Moving your great idea into successful production takes a talented, creative team:
- Design engineers who can translate brainstorms into brilliant circuitry
- Skilled technical experts for layout and P&R, meticulous simulation, and deep verification
- Hardcore logic gurus to craft embedded software
- Process wizards to transform the design into exquisite, flawless silicon
We are that team.
With staff experience averaging more than 20 years, our engineers have solid expertise in high-density, low-power products. They work in deep submicron nodes with a keen eye to cost-size-weight reduction and design sustainability. They have created sensors, FPGAs, SerDes, memory chips (DRAM, MRAM, and RRAM), ASICs, AI systems, and any number of ingenious devices.
This is a versatile crew, with specialties ranging from analog and digital physical designs to low-level system software. Their creations have been successfully realized with 2D, 2.5D, and 3D integration.
Products flow from original concept and initial schematic to top-level mixed-signal verification, all the way through characterization and qualification. Our own fab delivers state-of-the-art prototyping; thermal cycling and probe testing are also performed in-house. Longstanding relationships with vendors and fabs give NHanced an enviable advantage in running a smooth supply chain.
You have the concept – we have the skills. Let’s build something.
