Addressing Your Core Challenges

  • Design Closure and Time-to-Market

    Our detailed and methodical approach—from SDC constraints, synthesis, and timing analysis to signoff—minimizes design iterations and ensures a faster, smoother transition from RTL to GDSII. We work collaboratively with your team to identify and resolve potential bottlenecks early in the design cycle.

  • Optimizing Power, Performance, and Area

    Achieving the right balance in power, performance, and area is a key challenge. Our specialized flow development and rigorous root cause analysis help meet your PPA goals, ensuring that every design decision supports your chip's key metrics

  • Ensuring Robustness and Signoff Closure

    From floor planning and placement to CTS and routing, our physical design services are built for signoff confidence. We focus on design closure with fewer iterations — minimizing downstream surprises and ensuring a smooth handoff to the foundry

  • Foundry & Process Node Trade-offs

    Choosing the right process node or foundry is a high-impact decision that affects your SoC/IP and its success in the market. We perform a comparative analysis—including PPA, routing resources, metal layers, yield, and cost—so you can quantify tradeoffs early and commit with confidence, while focusing on critical architectural decisions.

  • IP Evaluation, Porting, and Hardening

    Whether you’re optimizing in-house IP, porting third-party IP, or reusing proven blocks with custom configurations, generating PPA numbers for internal use or for customers can be time-consuming. We handle this for you, so you can focus on growing market share, adding differentiating features, and making informed decisions on incorporating third-party IP.

Experience You Can Count On

Synthesis & Timing Analysis

We leverage our rich experience in SDC cleanup, optimized synthesis techniques, and static timing analysis to create a strong foundation that meets your PPA goals—reducing the need for costly late-stage revisions and closure challenges.

Floorplanning & Feasibility

Our floorplanning expertise includes robust power planning and feasibility assessments, ensuring that your layout is optimized for performance, power, routability, and manufacturability from the outset.

Placement & Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS)

With a keen focus on signal integrity and timing optimization, our team designs placement strategies and clock distribution networks optimized for performance and low power, ensuring they meet your design’s operational and PPA goals.

Routing & Signoff Preparation

By addressing challenges such as electromigration, IR drop, and DRC/LVS early in the process, we deliver clean, reliable routing solutions that streamline the final, foundry-driven signoff.
