Custom IC Design

Custom IC Design

SmarConn enhances the performance of the electronic systems by licensing analog intellectual property (IP) for integration into systems on a chip (SoCs), including consumer, Internet of Things (IoT), enterprise, and security applications


Our team is capable of delivering Full-Chip/Sign-Off (Design, Layout, Modeling & Verification), IP Delivery, Lab Test & Characterization.


Relying on the extensive experience in small processes down to 4 nm FinFET, history of first-pass silicon success, and large portfolio of designing silicon-proven IP our team can take care of your power management needs at a fraction of the time and cost with much lower risk.
