Continued growth in mixed-signal IC design

For the 8th year in a row, ICsense is proud to present a strong double-digit growth with a CAGR of 39%. Despite the financial crisis, ICsense was profitable and could further strengthen its cash flow and financial position. Its analog and digital team has grown to over 40. The financial stability and growth of the expert mixed-signal team confirms ICsense’s position as a leading custom mixed-signal ASIC design and supply company in Europe. The investment in an internal digital team and Synopsys design tools in the beginning of 2012 has significantly leveraged the analog expertise. This led to several complex mixed-signal ASICs tape-outs for medical and industrial applications in 2012 already.

“ICsense will continue to invest in its team and in its unique design environment,” states Bram De Muer, CEO of ICsense. “ Apart from enabling structured analog IC design, the addition of a state-of-the art digital flow allows for full mixed-signal verification and coverage. Our unique approach enhances design efficiency and leads to what we are most proud of: first silicon success.” For the next year, ICsense foresees again a double-digit growth. The focus of ICsense is to remain the long-term partner for industrial, medical, automotive and consumer ASIC developments and supply. In particular, ICsense will engage in the development of highly reliable ASICs for medical implanted applications, radiation-hard ASICs for space applications and safety critical industrial ASICs.
