Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Grenoble, France, EASii IC is a premier fabless design house specializing in ASIC and SoC development.
Partner profile
The company offers comprehensive turnkey services, guiding projects from initial feasibility and architecture through to prototyping and mass production.
Their core expertise spans digital, analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuits, with a world-class reputation for high-reliability designs suited for extreme environments (space-rated, high-temperature) and modem DVB-S2x for Newspace.
History and expertise
ASIC Design House:
EASii IC specializes in digital, analog, mixed-signal, and RF integrated circuits.
They offer turnkey services, managing projects from initial feasibility and architecture to prototyping and mass production.
EASii IC is active in diverse sectors: aeronautics, space, defense, telecommunications, consumer electronics, medical, automotive, and industry with about 4 million circuits sold.
Advanced Technologies: Their designs utilize various processes, including CMOS, BiCMOS, and FD-SOI. They operate across a wide range of technological nodes, from legacy 1µm to advanced 7nm processes.
Example of EASii IC Product
Unlike most design houses, EASii IC also designs and markets its own highly complex integrated circuits :
New Space: DVB-S2x modems (Terminaux, Paylaod, …)
High-Reliability & Radiation Testing: Through specialized divisions like X-REL, they provide components designed for extreme environments (high temperature and space-rated). They also maintain a dedicated activity for Radiation Effects Testing.
Electronic Design Center
The Electronic Design Center is a Xilinx-certified hub specializing in complex FPGA systems and high-speed signal processing. It delivers advanced automated test benches and embedded software (Linux/drivers) to ensure the peak performance and reliability of mission-critical hardware.
Xilinx Certification: The center is a Xilinx-certified Center of Excellence, with deep expertise in complex FPGA systems and high-speed signals.
Embedded Systems: Their engineers specialize in embedded software (Linux), hardware/software co-design, and the development of specialized test benches.
Service offering in IC-DASH and contribution to Work Package
IC-DASH & EASii IC :
In the complex landscape of Integrated Circuit (IC) design, the journey from architectural definition to final tape-out requires more than just tools—it requires strategic expertise. As a key partner in the IC-DASH consortium, EASii IC is port of the Work Package 3 (WP3) to provide high-level design consulting and industry-proven best practices.
The EASii IC Mission: De-risking your Innovation
Our objective is to deliver hands-on guidance and technical depth across all stages of the design lifecycle. We help your teams optimize methodologies, avoid common pitfalls, and enhance the overall robustness of your IC designs.
EASii IC, alongside our consortium partners, will play a leading role in disseminating (WP4) industry-standard quality and best practices (including Methodologies (WP2)), ensuring that the collective expertise of the IC-DASH network benefits every user project across the European semiconductor landscape.
