EnSilica was established in 2001 and is a designer and supplier of mixed
signal Application Specific Integrated Circuits ("ASICs"). ASICs are
integrated circuits or semiconductor chips developed for a particular use or
product rather than for general purpose usage.
ASICs help differentiate products through optimised hardware, thereby making
products smaller, faster, lower power and/or more secure and can provide novel
functionality, improve supply chain security and protect products from being
copied. The Company has expertise in designing complex mixed signal ASICs,
which combine digital and analogue functions onto a single chip.
EnSilica provides an end-to-end service for the design and supply of ASICs,
outsourcing certain elements of the manufacturing and packaging to third
parties - otherwise known as a Fabless Semiconductor Model.
EnSilica's customers currently range from global corporations and original
equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") to technology start-ups, including automotive
Tier 1 suppliers, industrial enterprises, large software companies and service
providers developing proprietary hardware. EnSilica is an approved supplier to
some of the world's largest automotive and industrial OEMs and Tier 1
suppliers.
The Company's main country of operation is the UK, with additional design
centres in India and Brazil.
