DOMAINS

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Design Services

The ever growing demand for bigger, more powerful and discrete systems is growing day by day. Product companies are looking to maximize performance and minimize size. They are constantly on the lookout for more efficient ways to reduce power consumption, while improving performance on an ever-shrinking chip – all the while trying to stay ahead in a rapidly-evolving ecosystem.

OVERVIEW OF

Digital Signal Processing Design & Development

(our services include SoC, ASIC, FPGA, DFT, RTL & IP design)

Time and again Cientra has innovated to build efficient digital systems. Our expertise allow us to partners quickly build innovative architectures and systems on a chip. we have been able to rapidly turn around highly robust and functional systems on the smallest of silicon wafers, with the most stringent power requirements – all this owing to our domain expertise in SoCs, ASICs, FPGA to ASIC conversion services.
