ASIC Product Development

How SWINDON helps in product development

SWINDON Silicon Systems can assist in the continued success of your business by designing, productionising and supplying your unique custom analogue, digital or mixed signal ASIC.

SWINDON designs the ASIC from transistor through to GDSII files, utilising its own IP whenever appropriate, and then into full volume production, using our first class manufacturing capabilities and facilities.

Our close long term relationships with internationally recognised foundries gives our customers a wide selection of process options and they also benefit from the economies of scale of wafer pricing that SWINDON offers through is high volume purchasing initiatives.

Once the silicon wafer, be it CMOS, BiCMOS or SiGe, has been produced SWINDON conducts its own in house Wafer Probe and ATE testing and also the packaging/assembly of the final ICs. Full logistical support and on time delivery is given and a product lifetime and obsolescence assurance is provided.

The SWINDON Design and Development Process

SWINDON Silicon Systems offers a full turn key solution that utilises in house capability wherever possible.

SWINDON began the bespoke testing of our Analogue / Mixed-signal ICs in 1985 as an added value offering to its already successful Design Services business. By utilising this long experience of testing and supplying the completed ASIC, flexible and highly advanced test platforms provide unparalleled low ppm field failure rate quality. SWINDON can support both low and high volume wafer and packaged ASIC requirements. SWINDON works with closely with all its customers to develop comprehensive test schedules for their products culminating in many millions of ASIC being shipped monthly from SWINDON’s test facilities.
The SWINDON microelectronics testing facility maintains state of the art equipment for testing analogue, digital, RF and mixed-signal integrated ICs.

SWINDON works in both QLM and QLP protocols.
