From concept to tape-out — we own the full design flow so you can focus on your product. Or learn the flow yourself through our Design Academy.
Every service is delivered by engineers with production tape-out experience and a commitment to quality at every step.
We translate your specifications into precision RTL — synthesizable SystemVerilog and VHDL with clean coding practices, full lint compliance, and DFT awareness built in from the start. Deliverables include design specification, RTL source, synthesis scripts, and timing constraints.
Coverage-driven verification using the UVM methodology — block-level, subsystem, and SoC top-level testbenches with constrained-random stimulus, SystemVerilog assertions, and functional coverage closure. Formal verification for safety-critical or complex corner cases.
Full physical implementation from synthesis to sign-off-clean GDSII. Floorplanning, power planning, placement, CTS, routing, and timing closure using Synopsys and Cadence flows. Experienced in advanced nodes from 28nm to 3nm, with foundry DRC/LVS sign-off.
Reusable, process-tuned IP blocks — digital controllers, analog front ends, PHYs, and memory compilers — delivered with full characterization data, databooks, integration guides, and test benches. Available for targeted process nodes with performance and power guarantees.
Independent architectural review, process node selection, feasibility analysis, and risk mitigation strategy. Ideal for teams at the beginning of a project who want experienced guidance before committing to an architecture or schedule.
We don't stop at tape-out. Our team provides bringup support, debug assistance, and silicon characterization services to help you move from first silicon to production as quickly as possible.
A structured, transparent engagement from first conversation to tapeout.
We learn your product goals, constraints, timeline, and process preferences — and identify risks early.
Architecture agreement, RTL development, and verification — with weekly milestone reviews and full RTL sign-off.
Regression-passing testbenches, formal closure, and stress simulations. We don't proceed to physical design without confidence.
DRC/LVS-clean GDSII, timing sign-off, full deliverable package — and ongoing support through bringup.
Real projects. Real outcomes. Client names withheld under NDA.
A global IoT startup needed a custom MCU to replace a power-hungry FPGA prototype in a battery-powered wearable device.
A medical device company needed a custom signal processing chip for a next-generation patient monitoring platform — with FDA submission requirements.
A small ASIC customer required targeted verification of a high-throughput data path to shorten debug cycles and reduce silicon risk.
We implemented and delivered a drop-in RTL I/O controller block for a client's SoC project — enabling the customer's team to focus on core differentiating logic.
The Design Academy is a 24-week intensive program that takes motivated engineers from fundamentals to job-ready ASIC designer — using the same tools, flows, and standards as production chip design teams.
What We Do? We collaborate with governments, organizations, and universities across Africa, fostering a fertile environment for semiconductor technological growth.
Built and delivered by working engineers, not just instructors. You'll complete real design projects, receive personal code reviews, and graduate with a portfolio of work that hiring managers recognize immediately.
Part-time and full-time tracks available. Flexible schedule designed for working professionals.
Synopsys VCS, Cadence Virtuoso, Genus, Innovus — the same EDA tools used in industry.
SystemVerilog, UVM, Physical Design, STA, DFT, Low-Power Design, and Chip Entrepreneurship.
Resume, portfolio, and interview preparation — plus introductions to our industry network.
We seek not just to be a part of the global semiconductor industry, but to redefine it — bringing African talent to the forefront.
ChipLAB's hands-on labs and code reviews accelerated my learning — I shipped meaningful RTL in week eight.
The curriculum uses the same EDA tools I now use at work — the transition to a verification role was seamless.
Mentorship and portfolio reviews helped me get interviews with top semiconductor teams.
