Our core expertise
Custom integrated circuits (ASICs): analog, digital and mixed-signal
An ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) is a circuit designed and manufactured for a particular application, unlike generic market integrated circuits. This custom approach lowers the cost per chip, frees you from suppliers and third-party patents, strengthens hardware-level security, and builds a lasting competitive advantage.
- ✓ IP protection : Your innovation is etched into silicon, making it extremely difficult to copy.
- ✓ Energy optimization : Consume only what your application strictly needs.
- ✓ Cost reduction : Integrate several functions (BOM) into a single custom chip.
We turn the complexity of microelectronics design into a simple, accessible growth lever.

Why ASIC?
Why move to a custom-made chip
Performance & differentiation
Create a unique product: the ASIC integrates functionality unavailable off the shelf.
Energy efficiency
Optimize consumption down to the µW — ideal for IoT and battery-powered devices.
Sovereignty & security
Protect your IP against copying and secure your supply chain.
Cost & size reduction
Replace several components with a single chip and shrink your PCB footprint.
