DERA provides a complete ASIC design and prototyping service - committing circuits onto industrial gate arrays using direct-write patterning. This offers cost-effective access to small quantities of silicon circuits for feasibility studies etc. via fast turn-around of prototypes and multiple design variations on-wafer. A route to higher volume chip manufacture is available through the gate array supplier. Low risk designs / prototypes can be implemented in mixed-signal CMOS gate arrays or the well established GPS "DA" and "DX" bipolar array series offering both high performance analogue and digital functions. Applications range from high voltage, good drive capability circuits to high speed mixed-signal circuits incorporating 4000 equivalent gates.

DERA can work with the customer to produce designs using tools available
in-house. Alternatively, design data can be exchanged in Verilog, Cadence
or GDSII formats.
