End-to-end SoC design expertise to bring your idea to life in custom silicon
Custom Silicon: Purpose-Built
for Performance
Custom silicon starts with a product requirement that standard silicon cannot fully address. By defining the architecture, functionality, interfaces, and compute capabilities around a specific workload, teams can build silicon that is tightly aligned with the product and its system requirements.
Tessolve brings together Custom Silicon Design Services across architecture, IP integration, digital, analog and mixed-signal design, verification, DFT, physical design, and post-silicon validation. From complex SoCs and subsystems to application-specific silicon, our engineering teams work across process technologies from 2nm to 300nm, with a focus on the PPA, functionality, and design requirements that matter to the end product.

FAQs
1. What is custom silicon?
Custom silicon is a chip designed for specific product, workload, or system requirements, giving the design team greater control over architecture, functionality, interfaces, performance, and power.
2. What are the benefits of custom silicon?
Custom silicon can optimize a chip for a defined workload or system, enabling greater architectural control, application-specific functionality, and targeted performance and power characteristics.
3. What is the difference between custom silicon and an off-the-shelf chip?
An off-the-shelf chip is designed for broader applications, while custom silicon is architected around specific product requirements. Custom designs offer greater control but typically involve higher development effort and cost.
4. When should a company consider custom silicon?
Custom silicon is worth considering when existing chips cannot meet specific requirements for performance, power, functionality, integration, security, or long-term product differentiation.
5. What does custom silicon design involve?
Custom silicon design typically covers architecture, IP selection and integration, RTL or circuit design, verification, DFT, synthesis, physical design, sign-off, and silicon validation.
6. What Custom Silicon Design Services does Tessolve provide?
Tessolve provides Custom Silicon Design Services spanning architecture, IP integration, digital, analog and mixed-signal design, verification, DFT, physical design, and post-silicon validation.
7. What types of custom silicon does Tessolve support?
Tessolve supports custom digital, analog, and mixed-signal silicon, including complex SoCs, IPs, and application-specific designs across a range of semiconductor process technologies.
8. Does Tessolve support custom silicon beyond design?
Yes. Tessolve extends its custom silicon expertise into post-silicon validation, characterization, debug, and performance analysis, providing continuity from design through silicon validation.
