Intrinsix is the leader in offering joint firmware / hardware design teams tailored to meet the challenges of highly integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) development. 

In the coming years, the trend toward completely integrated TCP/IP based communications equipment will underscore the growing need for expertise in complex systems on a chip (SoC) embedded systems.

Beat the competition to market

Our approach to designing complex embedded systems consists of deploying cross-functional teams knowledgeable in hardware and software design. Hardware and software are developed concurrently with a co-design/co-verification simulation environment. This unique approach significantly accelerates the project schedule to help our customers meet time-to-market windows.
