ARASAN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Arasan Professional Services are aimed at leveraging our IP cores, shortening the design cycle and maximizing your return on investment. The realization of our promises is built upon the professionalism and reputation we’ve earned over 10 years.

We provide a top-down design service solution to achieve your system-on-chip (SoC) design goals. Our comprehensive services are unparalleled in the industry, namely:

Our Professional Services team is made up of vertical specialists with domain specific knowledge in consumer electronics, networking and wireless technologies. In addition, Arasan has a team of implementation specialists who offer services encompassing all stages of the design flow from concept to tapeout, including Software. With extensive experience in cutting edge technologies, we understand the problems and challenges you face with your SoC design projects.

Our services are delivered as a combination of turnkey assignments and onsite consulting to derive maximum efficiency. Our team can be deputed Worldwide.

Design Consulting

To posses a significant competitive advantage, a new product must posses prominent differentiation in terms of functionality, architecture and performance. As a company intimately involved with the standards we license, we can help you define your products based on the markets you wish to address and how the technology can be applied to your product. Our competitive strength in the IP business comes from being the first mover and utilization of our services ensure that our customers gain from this leadership and unique perspectives.

We also analyze your entire SoC to increase performance and work closely with your system architects to ensure the specifications capture the design intent, helping minimize the iterations between the architecture and RTL implementation. Achieving specification closure at the block and chip level ensures design quality and adherence to set schedules.

Arasan also has relationships with 3’rd party IP companies, especially for analog components thereby giving us the ability to be the one stop solution for your SoC projects. We apply the same strict standards in evaluating these IP’s and will be responsible for their procurement.

IP Integration

  • Customization of the IP Cores as per the specifications
  • Integrate Arasan’s and qualified 3’rd party IP’s in your SoC design
  • Implementation of other blocks required in the design
  • Driver & Firmware development
  • Validate system functionality through FPGA prototyping

Our IP Integration Services help you implement the specifications. IP customization is best left to the original designers as is the typical case when the work is carried out by Arasan. Their intimate knowledge of the IP block ensures that compliance to the standard is maintained during modification and performance is not affected. All IP blocks modified by Arasan will be covered by the Original Warranty provided by the License Agreement. We also have the ability to specify and code other blocks required by your SoC thereby providing design services in their own right.

Our experienced Software team develops all the drivers and firmware required as per the specifications. They work in tandem with the hardware engineers to define the project before beginning implementation and the coding is done in parallel with the RTL design.

Our ability to provide the Total Solution in the form of Hardware and Software ensures that their marriage during System Bringup time is short and smooth. Modifications, if required are done on the fly by our engineers who can be made available onsite during this process.

The perfected system can be taken to Silicon using our Design Realization services.

Design Realization

  • Handle complete design production flow from concept to GDSII tapeout. A complete worry-free outsourcing that delivers predictable results
  • Complement your design team's competencies to enhance productivity and speed-up new product release
  • FPGA or ASIC prototyping of subsystem of fully integrated system
  • Testbench development with software and hardware tools for automated production testing, RTL verification, or fully-integrated chip evaluation.

In today’s highly competitive market, time-to-market is the key of success. Getting your new chips into volume production fast is always the primary concern for a new SoC design project. With Arasan’s Design Realization services you have the option to outsource the complete design production flow from concept to GDSII tapeout. Another option is to leverage on the strength of your existing design where you have the core competencies, complement that with our IP where we have established the position as market leader. Arasan Design Realization services will work with your design team to produce a chip that exhibits both uniqueness and competitiveness.

Your products may require the proof of concept or need to be qualified before the design is dispatched for volume production. At Arasan, our Design Realization services team will assist you to build the FPGA or ASIC prototype. The alternative will save you time and costs for unnecessary silicon re-spins.

We work with industry partners for backend design and help with the choice of foundry for your design. Utilizing our Design Realization services over those offered by companies allied to a specific foundry gives you the ability to shop around and ensure the best deal.
