As part of its full chip developments, ICsense has designed over 700 individual building blocks. These topologies are proven in silicon and the circuit principles can be re-used to lower the project risk and to guarantee first-time-functional samples. ICsense has a unique script based design and verification approach (read more) to efficiently design full chips bottom-up.
