NIRSEN is a chip engineering service company, specializing in millimeter-wave and AMS circuits and front-end systems, with premium references. Explore our analog IPs or order customized IC services.

NIRSEN IPs and Competencies

Solutions are individually developed for each client and tailored to their specific requirements. The client retains all IPs and can license NIRSEN background IPs, should this be needed and desired.

NIRSEN has in-house silicon-proven building blocks and systems on a chip for millimeter-wave communication and radar front ends, ready to be used as is or to be adapted for client needs. We control the entire analog and digital ASIC development flow, with client tools (operating over VPN) or our tools. NIRSEN offers a Virtual Design Center business model as well as turnkey solutions consisting of analog, RF, and mixed-signal ASIC & digital ASIC design for system OEMs and T1s.

Our Virtual Design Center model enables long-term engagement of engineers with dedicated competencies, such as high-voltage design & layout, generic AMS design & layout, digital design & validation activities, or mixtures thereof. With our engineers located in the NIRSEN office, the service is delivered in a remote, agile, and affordable way.

We can provide custom application-related firmware solutions, with porting options on a dedicated SoC platform.
