Why Should You Consider working with NFR to build your Integrated Solutions (IC)?
When you partner with us you will gain access to ASIC design services, cutting-edge IC expertise, streamlined processes, and a seamless integration of design, clean room services, and substrate manufacturing—all under one roof. We turn complex ideas into efficient, high-performance solutions, saving you time and maximizing innovation.
NFR has been in the ASIC business for over a decade and a half and has provided large and small size companies with hundred of customized ICs design from low-end 0.5um nodes to complex mixed-signal ICs with large digital IP and customized cores. We have seen the up and downs of the market and can correctly guide you to the correct technology to reliable deliver to your target application and market.
How we bridge your needs to ASIC
NFR has developed a very simple a systematic approach to getting to your IC solution. Please continue to read below for our 3 step solution.
STEP 1 Your Project Goal
Whether you have a your system sketched on a picece of paper or a fully deisgned schematic. NFR will be able to jump right in to guide you to the first draft to your Integrated Solution. We begin by defning core functionalities and findout if you actually need an ASIC or if we can find an already exiting solution via our partners and suppliers. Our goal in this first phase and is to make sure you get your solution as soon as possible and ensure if and new IC is absolutely necessary.
STEP 2 Your Integrated Circuit(IC) Solution Specifiations
Once we identify your needs and target product, we begin generating the specifications for your Integrated Solutions. We start by creating a target solution sheet and performing all necessary system analysis to ensure that our specifications will deliver the required performance. Leveraging our wide range of services, we can either immediately design or redesign and onboard (PCB) systems to demonstrate functionality prior to integration, helping to reduce risk and increase accuracy in achieving your desired performance. After finalizing the first-level specifications, our team will schedule a sign-off meeting with you to move forward with the next phase of planning, including timelines and the first deliverables
STEP 3 Timelines and Deliverables
During the timelines and first deliverables phase, we define the following key elements: the required articles, your desired timelines, and target production. These three factors are crucial for establishing a clear path to meet performance metrics, pricing targets, and time-to-market goals. For example, performance metrics may include desired power consumption, a time metric could be the availability of first selections by a specific date, and time-to-market could involve the availability of production wafers by the required deadlines. We will prepare these details for your team to provide a clear view of your product roadmap and design
