In a move intended to increase the competitiveness of its industrial partners, CEA-Leti has launched the Silicon Impulse IC design competence centre. According to the French research organisation, Silicon Impulse will offer IC design services, advanced IP, emulation and test services, as well as multiproject wafer (MPW) shuttles.
CEA-Leti's CEO Marie-Noëlle Semeria said: "Silicon Impulse helps Leti's partners to introduce innovative products that deliver optimal performance and to benefit from the most advanced technologies."
Silicon Impulse will offer access to expertise in analogue, RF, digital and memory design and hardware/software integrated solutions at the technology node that meets the needs of each project most cost effectively. In particular, the centre will offer access to Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) technology, as well as other advanced technologies such as ReRAM, MEMS, 3DVLSI and silicon photonics.
Semeria added: "With Silicon Impulse's one stop shop platform, 28nm FD-SOI heterogeneous, low power design becomes a reality for the IoT community."
