    Why adopt iRoC Technologies design services?

    Case Study: SoC design to meet SER specification.

    "SEU FIT rate per device have to be less than 200 per device. This will have to be demonstrated on silicon through radiation test".

    This is what your design team received as an additional specification for your new design in Networking, Automotive or Medical applications in 65nm. What is this SEU FIT rate and how will your team guarantee that your design will pass the test without extra cost and reducing the performance?

    iRoC Design Service consultants will team up with your design engineers to achieve the most cost effective compliance to this spec.

    The result will be a full compliance to the spec at first silicon, with no need of respin and minimum efforts to invest to bring the design team up to speed on SEU analysis and on a level of maturity for communication to your customer on the topic.

    This cooperation will result in a design win over main competitors and an enhanced customer satisfaction.

    In summary our the value proposition of our design service is:

    FIT rate assessment at all design phase


    FIT rate optimization at layout with identification of hot spots and trade-offs options.

    Device qualification through SER testing compliant to most advanced standards.
