Silicon IPs BASED
HARMONIE offers to develop your SoC thanks to their mastery of Virtual Components (ViC) features designed at Dolphin: e.g. memories, converters, microcontrollers, etc.
The complete procedure starts with specifying the SoC and the required ViC, addressing the make-or-buy question, integrating them through the four critical stages of Synthesis, placement, Clock path Synthesis and routing, then validating SoC performances on silicon and preparing industrial test for fabrication phase.
As contractual commitment, Dolphin guarantees that the SoC performances on silicon are in conformity with the SoC specifications.
HARMONIE benefits from the expertise of Dolphin’s product lines. As a result, the SoC may benefit from state-of-the-Art Virtual Components, including their specifications meeting quality requirements.
HARMONIE takes a special care for respecting integration rules of each ViC and for introducing testability to ease the industrial test afterwards. The complete SoC design chain is based on a virtual fabrication process with multi level verifications and ascertainments of equivalence.
HARMONIE works closely with customer by organizing regulars project reviews and associating the customer to the milestones of the project (specification signature, layout review acceptance, industrial test specification signature)
SoC Integration
DOLPHIN is the specialist of SoC Integration who will help you to create the physical implementation of your SoC they are purely analog or purely logical or mixing analog and logical whatever the size of the SoC you want to design.
The hierarchical design of complex circuitry, up to several million of gate, with possible current islets to optimized the power consumption, is controlled during the whole design flow.
With this offer, DOLPHIN complete the other service skills: expert delegation off-site or complete management of specific circuits up to chip supply in custom FabLess.
