Silicon Design Studios is a provider of consulting and design services for deep-submicron CMOS standard cell libraries, I/O, and custom circuits.  We can provide you with the resources and expertise you need to meet your market window.

Standard Cell Libraries:  Specification and design of cell libraries, including today's leading edge processes.  Services include cell architecture development, circuit design, layout and supervision of layout resources, and implementation of technology files and verification runsets.  Experts at providing high-density, high-performance cell implementations, for a specific set of cell functions or for an entire cell library.  Providing low-power cells (clock gating, registers, dynamic and static power reduction), high-performance cells (registers, datapath elements, gain-based design), and complex functions (level shifters, delay cells, datapath).  Experience with TSMC, UMC, IBM, NEC, LSI Logic and other foundries.

Standard and Tolerant I/O Cells:  Reliable, dependable and proven I/O designs, including 5 volt, 3.3 volt and 2.5 volt tolerant circuits, level shifting, slew rate control, drive strength margining, process correction and noise analysis.  Designs account for ESD considerations in both layout and circuit design, as well as at chip-level construction.

Specialty I/O:  Specialty I/O cell designs include standards-compliant SSTL, PCI, SCSI, and IDE/ATA interface cells that are compatible with standard I/O libraries.  High performance and high speed designs suitable for leading edge designs, with accounting for low power, low jitter and impedance matching requirements.

The principal partner of Silicon Design Studios is Mike McManus, who has over 16 years of industry experience and holds 10 patents in the areas of circuit design, including standard cells, memory, tolerant I/O and PCI pad designs.
