About Intrinsix

An advanced semiconductor design services firm with the platforms, process and people to ensure first-turn success of your semiconductor project

The Intrinsix way is about balance

Urgency balanced with practiced discipline. Fierce independence balanced with close foundry and IP/EDA partnerships. Innovative out-of-the-box thinking balanced with a proven and risk-averse approach. Intrinsix also sets itself apart and provides its customers with unique, strategic advantage by use of our Platforms, Process, and People.

PLATFORM

Commonality of functions across processing platforms and mixed-signal systems is a convenient yet complex concept when diving in from the abstract to the practical.  Not everything can be just pulled down from the dusty shelf and re-used but when properly applied to the myriad of generic functions required for typical complex chip development, this commonality adds up big time.  Intrinsix internally-developed IP, kept fresh and relevant by constant application at the leading edge, gives our customers a head start, no matter what industry or application they are pursuing.  Check out our Platforms page to read more about our stuff.

PROCESS

Engineering is about harnessing innovation into results. Taking out-of-the-box-thinking and bringing it smoothly into-the-box.   This is not achieved reliably without process and constant process improvement. Thirty years of Intrinsix experience and the most important thing we have learned is that we have to keep learning.  That being said, Intrinsix embraces a proven set of approaches and industry best practices to achieve success at the leading edge. Career Project Managers and metrics-based risk analysis guide our projects and our customer's chips into systems that work - the first time.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • Daniel-Hammerle.jpg

    Optikos is a leading developer of optical systems for the commercial, industrial, medical and aerospace markets.  We recently partnered with Intrinsix to redesign a prototype 3-D imaging system for a production environment.  We have extensive expertise in opto-mechanics and camera integration, but needed additional resources to develop the high-speed electronics for real-time video transfer and image processing.   The Intrinsix team quickly understood the program goals and requirements.  They made multiple improvements to the electronics and firmware that increased reliability and maximized performance.  Intrinsix worked cooperatively and transparently, delivering a system that met all technical and program expectations.  Optikos was very impressed with their performance and we anticipate a growing partnership with Intrinsix.

    Opto-mechanical Systems Engineering Manager at Optikos Corporation
  • Mark_Scheitrum.jpg

    Intrinsix has been a key development partner for the silicon validation of our Trusted System IP and Anti-Tamper IP solutions. Intrinsix brings expertise in both front-end and back-end System-on-a-Chip (SOC) design.  Working together with our engineers, Intrinsix enables us to quickly and effectively demonstrate the unparalleled value proposition of our IP solutions.

    We engaged with Intrinsix to provide staff augmentation for a recent large development project. They provided FPGA/RTL IP design and verification resources and an embedded C programmer. These resources ramped up quickly on our complex design environment and functioned as if they were members of our full time staff. The Intrinsix resources proved to be critical to the completion of this project in a timely manner and with high quality. I would definitely engage with Intrinsix on future projects.

    During my recent tenure at DARPA as a Program Manager in MTO (Microsystems Technology Office), I had the opportunity to work with Intrinsix on a 40nm chip development for a new architecture/computational model called Approximate Computing.   The Intrinsix team was professional and exacting in their approach, ensuring that the algorithms and new architectural techniques were integrated in a usable, repeatable architecture and that the design was thoroughly validated.  The project status and technical updates were effectively communicated to DARPA and the other stakeholders.  The Intrinsix team went above and beyond what was required to build this complex and innovative ASIC.  The chips worked the first time and this new technology was demonstrated to the entire MTO office shortly thereafter.   I would highly recommend Intrinsix to any company or DoD group looking to integrate complex electronics and architecture.
