LOOKING FOR A SMALLER, FASTER AND MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT CUSTOM IC DESIGN?
Automotive systems are becoming more intelligent. Today’s vehicles are expected to behave much like a smart house. In that spirit, every aspect of the cars operation is monitored, controlled and communicated to other functions of the automobile. Increased intricacies in the car infotainment system is one such mentionable example. Given the complexities of conditions a car has to operate in, it is no surprise that the ASICs involved have to be ever more sophisticated. A lot of the effort goes into developing ASIC architecture that includes position control, speed control, timing control etc. In addition, these ASICs must also meet strict standards for reliability and safety, these lead to a significant hike in time and money spent. According to a recent study, qualification process alone can take up more than 30% total cost.
In engagements with SystematIC our customers enjoy:
✓ Reduced risk of multiple re-spin with ASIC design team with significant automotive experience
✓ Support for under-the-hood and AEC Q100 Grade 0 temperature range (-40C to 150C)

SENSOR INTERFACES
We will design and supply your ASIC to meet exactly your specification. Whether it is pressure, position or proximity sensing, your ASIC will deliver you the performance without compromising on power consumption, size and cost. Optical, ultrasonic, magnetic, resistive or capacitive – we support IC design solutions for all sensor types.
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
Electric and autonomous vehicles are set to become major applications of electronic devices. The drive to incorporate unprecedented levels of safety, reliability, economy, performance, information and entertainment increase the requirements on mixed signal ASICs to provide sensing, conditioning and communicating capabilities in a single device.
Electric vehicles make differing demands on the electronic components and the number of sensors throughout the vehicle increases. Battery management to tyre pressure monitors, our custom device design expertise is already being applied in vehicles.
Custom ASIC Design
SystematIC , as its name suggests, draws its strength from a systematic development methodology and a profound knowledgebase which it applies to practical implementation of every analog and mixed signal ASIC it develops. Thanks to the ‘SystematIC’ methodologies, a fully functional, on-spec first silicon is attainable with minimum number of design iterations and significantly reduced overall development cost and time-to-market.
ASIC Turnkey solutions
In addition to the development and validation of prototypes on silicon, Systematic provides full supply chain management of customer specific IC products. Although operations are subcontracted, Systematic holds the unique responsibility of the entire supply chain - from order to delivery on time at customers’ preferred manufacturing site. This turnkey approach has optimized cost of mass-production solutions for several customers.
SYSTEMATIC WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A FAST, HONEST AND OPTIMAL IC SOLUTION
Customers across the Automotive sector use SystematIC within their IC and Systems development to create a wide variety of next-generation automotive products, from advanced measurement products to complex safety critical control systems. SystematIC's design and development services coupled with our IP and supply services can accelerate your time to market and reduce the risks of developing complex automotive solutions.
Proof that it is the optimal solution
We have a world-class track record in high voltage and power sensor technology and advanced signal processing.
First time functional
Understanding model accuracy, component mismatch and process corner variations helps to make robust circuit designs. The time and attention that we invest in the first design is until now in most cases rewarded with fully functional first silicon.
Fast delivery
Time to market is an extremely important aspect in many electronic developments. The best strategy is getting the most out of the first silicon. The risk in a second run, if needed, should be minimal. Therefore it is important to acknowledge and address potential risks and uncertainties in a first IC/product design as early as possible.
NO CHALLENGE IS BIG ENOUGH FOR US
At SystematIC we are fascinated about IC design. We are persons that want to know how things work and when we actually do we love the challenge of building new things with it. And this is not based on a lucky guess but we work in a structured way to get to a result that is optimal. You can proof that what you do is good or even ultimate. It's all about capturing what you need within the limitations of physics and mathematics and use the tools that are available to actually make it. Understanding the possibilities and challenges of integrated circuit design as well as the customer requirements are key to a successful project. That is why we are fast. In an early stage we try to capture the key questions and solve these on high level.
SystematIC has more than 20 years experience in developing and supplying highly reliable automotive ASICs, often for safety critical (ASIL B) applications. Quality and reliability are the key parameters. SystematIC aims for zero defects from project kick-off to volume production by systematic development, test and qualification, in combination with tightened process quality monitoring and screening in production. Throughout the whole process, the ASIC cost is kept under strict control.

Sensor interfacing
INTEGRATED MAGNETIC SENSOR
8 weeks : design start to prototype silicon
Our customers is the Isolation Products Division of a semiconductor leader, who has a strong portfolio based on optical isolation techniques. Application of this fully integrated single chip magnetic sensor opened a new line of magnetic isolation products. Based on our reference high speed magnetic design in 2 months’ time a 180nm CMOS prototype was shipped.
Sensor interfacing
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR
4 weeks : architecture proposal
In this project we developed an analog front-end architecture for a given capacitive MEMS pressure sensor. The front end must accurately measure the pressure in a tire and be robust against leakage, parasitics and noise. The SystematIC methodology was applied. First off, the sensor was electronically modelled to determine an optimal excitation and read out architecture. Next, during the detailed design phase the front-end was designed and layouted for a modern automotive IC application, including safety and test features.
