Symmid's strength as a leading design service provider is based on the following key factors:
Our Value Proposition Symmid brings to its customers a strong high-end CMOS design capabilities, and due to its unique location in the heart of Asia's manufacturing hub, we can also provide a complete turnkey ASIC, Mixed Signal, and RF design services. Symmid in-house design team and its worldwide network of specialized design partners guarantee a full access to a comprehensive selection of IP products to meet customers' needs. Symmid strong network of allied design houses is capable of providing innovative full custom, mixed signal, and RF design solutions to meet customers' most stringent specifications. Symmid uses state-of-the-art design methodology and CAD tools for consistency and predictability. Considering the level of complexity of modern ICs, Symmid has invested more than $5 million in acquiring state-of-the-art EDA tools from all major vendors to support its design business. Symmid also offers local low cost fabrication, packaging and assembly, and test through its alliance with several world class foundries. The need for design services is a growing trend in the industry due to several factors; among them are it is very costly to build and maintain design infrastructure for smaller start-ups due to the high capital expenditure needed up front, robust design tools are becoming prohibitively expensive since market needs are pushing traditional technology and functionality limits, and high end EDA design and verification tools are essential for meeting market windows, and handling these complex designs. In addition, these design tools are increasing in sophistication that fewer designers are able to handle the complexity effectively, and becoming an expert user requires a longer training period.
