Based in Tel Mond, Israel, AAI provides complete ASIC and customer owned tooling design services and turnkey manufacturing for fabless design houses and electronic system companies.
AAI offers flexible business models and various design services, including RTL logic design, IP integration, synthesis, formal proof, DFT insertion, ATPG, place and route, timing closure, signal integrity, extract/DRC/LVS, tape-out, GDSII generation, as well as turnkey manufacturing services.
AAI has already worked on a variety of complex SoC designs for MIPS Technologies licensees worldwide.
Adimos, a leading provider of wireless multimedia connectivity solutions for consumer appliances, used the MIPS32 4KEp core in the company's Wireless Video Module (WVM) design, enabling high quality multimedia transmissions over a wireless channel between any multimedia source (DVD, VCR, Set-Top Box and Media Servers) and a multimedia display (Plasma TV, LCD TV, home projectors or projection TV).
BroadLight licensed the MIPS32 4KEc processor core for use in its BL2000 Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) and Broadband Passive Optical Network (BPON) SoCs.
By incorporating the 4KEc core, BroadLight was able to significantly reduce development cost and speed time to market with the industry's first complete end-to-end GPON solution.
"Our services allow semiconductor companies and OEMs to better manage their engineering resources, get to market faster and keep costs down: " said Nadav Ben-Ezer, Managing Director of AAI.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with MIPS Technologies and its customers".
