VLSI Design Engineering Services and Solutions

From system requirements to ASIC/FPGA design, verification and prototyping.

Overview

Powering Tomorrow’s Innovations with VLSI Engineering

Semiconductor design brings together system architecture, digital logic, software and verification. AQPTech works with businesses to define an engineering scope that fits the product, available resources and intended technology platform.

Our approach begins with specifications and evaluation criteria, followed by a defined scope for RTL, FPGA, verification or integration. Foundry processes, IP, EDA tools and specialist laboratory requirements are clarified before delivery commitments.

VLSI Solutions that Drive Innovation and Performance

Connect digital logic design, verification, prototyping and integration through a clear engineering plan. Select individual work packages or define a roadmap around product milestones.

01

Scoped turnkey solutions

Plan requirements, architecture, verification, prototyping and handover. Physical design, tape-out and manufacturing are included only when resources and delivery partners are confirmed.

02

Silicon validation planning

Prepare bring-up, functional, interface and power measurement scenarios on sample hardware. Agree test equipment, conditions and laboratory access for each project.

03

ASIC and FPGA design

Define microarchitecture, interfaces, RTL and timing constraints for digital logic. Evaluate resources, performance and integration against the agreed target technology.

04

Emulation and FPGA prototyping

Prototype design blocks on a suitable FPGA platform to evaluate data flows, interfaces and hardware–software interaction before subsequent implementation stages.

05

Design verification

Develop testbenches, test cases, regression and coverage reports against specifications. Agree simulation methods, assertions and defect closure criteria for the design scope.

Your Path to VLSI Engineering Excellence

Start with a defined challenge, agreed inputs and evaluation criteria. Expand the scope as design and verification results meet the requirements.

Discuss your project scope

Firmware and system integration

Define boot flow, drivers, BSP and application interfaces. Connect FPGA prototypes or boards to the test environment for use-case validation.

Defined validation environment

Define instruments, datasets, test conditions and reproducibility. Confirm EDA tools, licenses and IP usage rights before implementation.

Milestone-based handover

Deliver designs, verification results and documentation within the agreed scope. Each milestone has clear deliverables, reviewers and acceptance criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions about VLSI Design Services

Which applications can VLSI support?

Signal processing, high-speed interfaces, device control and compute acceleration may benefit from specialized logic. ASIC versus FPGA depends on volume, budget, performance and changing requirements.

Can you deliver an end-to-end SoC project?

Scope follows a review of requirements, IP, target technology and tools. Physical design partners and foundry-dependent stages require separate confirmation.

What does design verification cover?

Scope can include verification plans, testbenches, tests, regression, coverage and defect reports. Methods depend on the design and simulation infrastructure.

Is FPGA prototyping supported?

Start with an agreed logic block or data flow on a selected board. Resources, interfaces and test criteria are defined before implementation.

How is mixed-signal work scoped?

Analog, digital, IP and fabrication requirements are assessed individually. Work is confirmed when suitable resources, tools and validation methods are available.

Can the scope include silicon bring-up?

Bring-up planning depends on boards, chip documentation and available instruments. Laboratory access and sample hardware must be agreed.

Can an existing design be extended?

Review RTL, documentation, testbenches, IP rights and defect history before agreeing changes and regression tests.

How are IP and source ownership handled?

The agreement distinguishes existing assets, third-party IP and newly developed work. Usage rights and handover materials are documented for each project.

How are timelines and costs estimated?

Estimates depend on design complexity, available inputs, tools, target platforms and verification depth. Work can be staged into discovery, prototyping and implementation.

What is needed to get started?

Share functional specifications, system diagrams, performance targets, intended platforms and current RTL or board status to define the next step.
