• Benefits of designing with Silicon components

  Simplified application design

  Plug & play component

  Designing a single component

  Reduced overall number of components

  From 10s to 100s of SMD components integrated in a single PICS

  Simplified design implementation

  Fully tested components

  S-parameters data available

  Miniaturization

  PICS footprint is up to ten times smaller than that of a discrete solution

  Increased performance

  Fully tested robust components

  Take advantage of our design center

  By using PICS you save time and resources to focus on core competencies: architecture and product design

  Reduce your development time with robust Plug & Play components

  Fully tested IPD

  S-parameter data available for easy simulation

  Save design resources

  Leverage on your engineering capability

  Use our on-site support to strengthen your teams and develop their skills

  Shorten your time to market

  Re-use of existing blocks

  Multiple designs for experimentation supported in a single batch

  Short time to prototype: avg. 2 months

  Short time to re-design: avg. 1 month

  First time right in over 80 % of cases

• Optimized purchasing

  Fewer components

  From 10s to 100s of SMD components integrated in a single PICS

  Fewer suppliers

  One IPD supplier instead of several capacitor, resistor and inductor suppliers

  1 qualified plant in Europe with ISO certifications

  Simpler supply chain management

  Manage only one supplier for ordering, delivery and payment

• Gains in manufacturing, assembly & test

  Fewer manufacturing steps

  Pick & Place 1 component instead of hundreds saves throughput time

  Free up production capacity

  Thanks to reduced Pick & Place, increase your manufacturing capacity

  Industrial investment reduction

  Lower capacity required for passives drives your manufacturing and test equipment investment costs down

  More robust designs

  Using fully tested components increases your line yield

  Less component dispersion improves your system quality

  Reduce your test time

• Distribution

  Smaller products, lower distribution cost

  More boxes in each container

  Reduced packaging and recycling cost

  Smaller products

• Keep in the lead with IPDiA

  Performance AND miniaturization

  Increase performance

  Save board space with footprint up to 10 times smaller

  Enable new functions and new products

  Thanks to reduced application size

  Performance that cannot be achieved with SMDs

  Preserve your unique designs and protect revenues

  Reverse engineering is very difficult

  Your IP is protected

  Faster time-to-market

  Fully tested components, Plug & Play

  Global cost reduction

  Direct and indirect costs

  Superior Net Profit Value
