IC Design Services

GB3 is an experienced system design house providing ASIC and FPGA design services. Our expertise in architecture, methodology, and tool usage provides a complete design environment that helps customers shorten their time to market. We offer concept analysis, algorithm development, architecture definition, RTL and C-model generation, and FPGA implementation.

Digital Processor Design and Development

GB3's engineers have developed digital processors for a wide range of applications, from low-end processors for industrial control applications to high-performance, massively parallel processors for supercomputing applications. Our experience in designing advanced digital processors has led to the development of proprietary methods and processes that yield reliable products that meet the strict performance and cost objectives demanded in today's competitive system-on-chip (SoC) environment.

Proven Design Methodologies Deliver Technology That Works

GB3 uses a combination of in-house design processes and industry standard development tools to create market-leading products that are robust and reliable. We understand the capabilities of silicon process technologies, and are skilled in designing with both custom and standard cell libraries. We are competent in supporting “backend” implementation staffs to ensure that the final product requirements are achieved
