Medical devices

Advanced Silicon helps medical device manufacturers to improve and shrink their electronic systems. The use of mixed-signal ASICs can reduce the amount of components used on a circuit board from 20 or 30 to as few as 5 or even 1. Further, end-product reliability improves when the number of parts decreases, and production costs fall due to fewer manufacturing steps and components purchased and inventoried.

Advanced Silicon's expertise in the development of high-voltage or high-current mixed-mode circuits can benefit to manufacturers of ultrasound imaging equipment, electro-stimulation devices, digital X-ray detectors or pacemakers and defibrillators.

Advanced Silicon brings to medical manufacturers -¦

• Silicon integration skills
  Our IP portfolio includes many low-power precision blocks, micro-controllers, power management circuits and high-voltage interfaces. But it is our extensive design experience and the close collaboration with the customer - who brings in the system-level know-how - that allows us to integrate innovative architectures that replace several discrete components.

• The best suited technology
  Weather CMOS, HV-CMOS or BCD the selected process reflects an optimum trade-off between performance, price and long-term availability (as medical devices lifetimes can easily reach 10 years).

• Turn-key products
  Advanced Silicon carries out all steps involved in the development and supply of ASICs, i.e. design, simulation and layout, package selection, test procedure definition and implementation, engineering samples evaluation, production qualification and delivery of fully tested chips.

• Professional support
  At all stages of the development and supply processes, Advanced Silicon is responsive, committed, flexible and fast. Our goal is to establish privileged long-term relationships with our customers.

• Competitive prices
  Advanced Silicon customers benefit from the economies of scale that the company achieves through its consumer electronic products.
