Signal Integrity

Signal Integrity and EMC/EMI

Signal Integrity and Electromagnetic Compatibility analysis for IC design, Package design, PCB and System design.

Working closely with our customers, we assess their specific system challenges. From chips and memory testers, to wireless, telecom and aerospace applications, we develop solutions for the most demanding SI requirements. Averaging close to 14 years of experience and with outstanding contributions to SI world, our experts are leaders in the Signal Integrity community.
