AAI: End to End SoC Design Services
Avnet ASIC Israel (AAI) delivers a complete spectrum of SoC (System on Chip) design services- From early architecture to tape out and ramp to production. Engagements are tailored to your starting point, tool environment, and internal expertise, ensuring seamless integration with your CAD/EDA ecosystem and predictable, first time silicon outcomes.
Flexible Entry Points & Signoff Models
1) Architecture Specification Signoff
AAI collaborates with your system and verification teams to formalize architecture and verification requirements. We then:
- Develop clean, synthesizable RTL aligned to the specification
- Integrate customer and third-party IP (standard cells, memory, high-speed I/O, compute subsystems, mixed-signal blocks)
- Execute the full RTL to GDSII implementation flow, including physical design, signoff, and tape-out readiness
Best for: Programs seeking a single accountable owner for RTL creation, IP integration, and physical implementation.
2) RTL Signoff
The customer will provide a functionally verified synthesizable RTL code of his design and design constraints (performance constraints, IO requirements, supply voltages, technology choice, application environment, etc.). AAI will perform a complete RTL to GDSII design flow according to the design constraints and will prepare the design or tape-out.
Best for: Teams that own RTL but want expert, fixed-scope physical implementation and signoff.
3) Netlist Signoff
You deliver a gate level, timing clean netlist with constraints. AAI- Will do physical implementation of the chip from gate level.
Best for: Customers standardizing on internal front-end flows who seek a proven back-end partner.
4) Design Migrations & Conversions
AAI also provides technology migration and conversion services from existing ASIC or FPGA design to ASIC technology. These services involve a different flow beginning at a legacy design netlist, GDSII, libraries and technology.
Best for: Cost, power, performance, or lifecycle upgrades; consolidation of multi-device solutions; or FPGA to ASIC transitions for volume scaling.
Why AAI for SoC?
- Choice of entry point (Architecture, RTL, Netlist, Migration) to match your team’s strengths
- Industrialized signoff across timing, power, signal integrity, reliability, and manufacturability
- IP-centric integration with robust verification and DFT strategies for first-time success
- Operational discipline from specification to tape-out, accelerating time to market and de-risking production
