Testimonials
I would like to thank you for the great job you have done, the quality of your documents and your flexibility during the project. From my point of view this is exactly what we were looking for in a design partner. I will promote your company internally to check if we can initiate new projects with you.
We have selected AnSem for their outstanding expertise in advanced analog and mixed signal ASIC as well as for their experience in ASIC turnkey solutions for innovative medical applications. AnSem has been able to understand very fast the challenges faced by this development and to proactively propose creative solutions to overcome them.
The partnership with AnSem strengthens our own ASIC capabilities. Their expertise in RF and low power is outstanding and pertinent to our technology roadmap. Delivering working silicon requires close collaboration and team work. We succeeded despite the geographical separation. Ultimately it will offer an improved quality of life to many people suffering from hearing loss.
EM Microelectronic has selected AnSem for their expertise in high frequency analog design for EM's next generation automotive and industrial products.
Going beyond the state-of-the-art in low power, low voltage RF circuit design requires a very skilled and open-minded development team. Intense collaboration, skill and engagement between our team and AnSem's team were instrumental in achieving the results.
AnSem assisted us in transforming our innovation idea from hardware prototype to ASIC. By joining the ASIC expertise of Ansem and the healthcare product knowledge of Televic, we were able to have a first-time-right ASIC design.
