Services

Our engineering staff is driven by a core group of engineers with an average of 15 years design experience. When combined with an enthusiastic and motivated team of younger engineers, this expertise in project-leadership guarantees a high quality of work to our customers. The entire team has accumulated solid design skills and good customer relations through a number of successfully completed projects.

Onsite Consulting and project-based conception in design center

For more than 10 years, PSI-E has offered its clients (from the microelectronics industry and system level integrators from  aeronautics, space industry and automotive) SOC conception solutions.
Our competences cover architecture specification, coding, synthesis, timing analysis, DFT for SOCs, ASICs and FPGAs, mixed-signal and analog design.

Our experts can work on the customer's site to be in charge of part of your project or of the whole project in our design centers.

Digital Design

Our competences :

  • Tools Suite : Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor,
  • FPGAs ACTEL, XILINX, ALTERA,
  • Technologies from 0.5 µm to 65 nm,
  • Design following the DO254 and ECSS-Q-60 references for the aeronautic and space industry,
  • ARM, LEON Processors.

SOC Verification and validation

Because verification is the key to your project's success, PSI-E takes you through all steps of verification. From the creation of the verification plan to fonctional analysis, PSI-E is committed to finding the most-fitting solution for your project : formal verification, fonctional verification with random approach, fault injection, ...

PSI-E, through varying methods, garanties the success of your project within deadlines.

Analog Design

PSI-E offers its clients engineering teams who know the tools and methods associated to SOC analog design.
Special skills have been developped in the following fields:

  • Mixed-signal Design,
  • DC/DC, ADC, DAC Convertors,
  • PLL, oscillators,
  • Low Power and RF Design,
  • Analog Simulation and Validation,
  • Layout full custom
  • Physical Verification (Virtuoso, Assura, Calibre)

Physical Design (digital and analog layout)

The increasing complexity of chips, their applications and the technologies used push PSI-E to constantly train and better the expertise of our engineers. PSI-E has installed teaching structures and partnerships with customers, EDA vendors and universities to answer the field's needs.

PSI-E now possess a whole team of experts in the following fields :

  • RF Chips Full Custom Layout,
  • Analog Full Custom layout from 0.35uM to 65nM,
  • Floorplanning, Place, Route in advanced technologies,
  • Management of problems linked to advanced technologies such as TA, STA, multiples power domains, multiples clock-trees domains, IR drop, cross talk...
  • ...

Test and Product Engineering

PSI-E is strongly implied with the increasing demand in quality process. This is why PSI-E has created a branch spcecialized in test program development on the different types of platform ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) available in the current market, and offers a professional service in the Product engineering environment to track device life cycle from manufacturing through to mass production including the different steps of qualification, maturity, compliances, rampu-up, yield tracking and yield improvments, analysis of device returns from production and customers... PSI-E is thus able to offer support throughout the complete development cycle of a new chip from Design activity to Test activity by providing a team of specialist IC engineers coming from the industry and by creating partnerchips with semi-conductor companies in test domains.
