Partners

GigOptix is an ASIC company with over 20 years of history. During this period GigOptix has evolved from being an ASIC manufacturer with an Internal Fab, Packaging and R&D into a Fabless ASIC company. As a fabless ASIC company GigOptix, has partnered with world class manufacturing fabs like UMC, Global Foundries, Tower Jazz and ASE. As ASICs have become more complex, GigOptix has entered into agreements with several industry leading IP companies in addition to the IP developed in house to provide the most comprehensive ASICs with true System On Chip (SoC) solutions. GigOptix uses state of the art third party Design Automation Tools from Magma, Cadence and Synopsys to design ASICs and ensure first pass success.

Services

GigOptix offers seamless migration from Structured ASICs to Standard Cells using the X-path methodology. ASICs are initially designed using structured ASICs to test the market and are then designed using Standard Cell ASICs due to large volume and cost reduction requirements.

GigOptix offers a Sunset Rescue Program for the conversion of obsolete FPGA/ASICs into Structured ASICs and Standard Cells particularly ASICs requiring 5V core voltage with pin compatible identical packaging.

GigOptix is a well recognized ASIC vendor to Mil/Aero, Industrial, Communication, Medical & Consumer customers with full ITAR/DO-254 compliance & ITAR certified ASIC product line.
