Supporting all stages of Analogue, Digital and Mixed signal ASIC development, from concept through to production tested devices
Routes to Market
Two basic custom product development paths are available: Full-custom ASIC, and CML's proprietary technology, FirmASIC®.
These routes offer you the ability to choose the appropriate path based upon a combination of the technical and commercial requirements of the project.

Full-custom ASIC
CML offers a competitive full-custom ASIC design service, for a completely new design or a design based on its vast design-library resource.
Design expertise and experience within CML ranges from analogue, digital and mixed-signal baseband circuitry right up to complete RF receive, transmit and transceiver designs.

FirmASIC®

FirmASIC technology opens up completely new opportunities for the ASIC, structured ASIC, FPGA and DSP replacement markets
This CML proprietary technology enables the lowest overall cost, fastest time-to-market, lowest risk and provides unsurpassed flexibility.
FirmASIC® technology opens up completely new opportunities for deployment in the ASIC, structured ASIC, FPGA and DSP replacement markets, and is not confined to just high quantity applications.
FirmASIC® provides the optimum combination of analogue, digital, firmware and memory technologies in a single silicon platform. A family of approved, stable hardware platforms is available, each providing a different mix of fixed and re-definable functions.
The FirmASIC® approach focuses on delivering the right feature mix, performance and cost for the target application.
FirmASIC® products can be offered in very small outline surface-mount packages and operating over the temperature range -40°C to +85°C
The FirmASIC® path can be further sub-divided to provide semi-custom and full custom product offerings, providing a completely new approach to system designers.
