ASIC design
Barco Silex made a commitment to providing our customers with the most sophisticated design service and technologies. Simply speaking, Barco Silex helps our customers transforming their design idea into a logic netlist to the final packaged test chips. The process shields customers from many pitfalls that customers may otherwise run into for a successful ASIC design. With these service and technologies, Barco Silex's customers can consistently achieve time-to-design and time-to-market efficiency for mass production. Barco Silex works closely with our customers to achieve the most flexible bilateral interaction. Key to success has always been our ability to provide customized solutions that match our customers' specific demands. Most importantly, Barco Silex is committed to creating and maintaining the "Win-Win" values for all who associate with us.

ASIC tool support
For our ASIC design we use the most recent tooling from Synopsys, Modelsim, Cadence and others.
Ways of cooperation
Depending on your requirements, we offer flexible services needed to complement your own skills. As a complete set of specification is the first step to a successful design, we can assist you in setting up your architecture and specification set.
Technical consulting
Our product managers offer you their competence to analyse your technical problem and show you if the use of ASICs can improve your product. We propose you consultancy, technologies and vendors.
Partnership
Production, technical and technology partnerships allow us to provide you with state-of-the-art products.
Partners are: ARM, ATMEL, ChipX, FARADAY, NEC, others upon customer requirements.
